Abstract
City leaders have the power and the means to make a significant difference in the health and well-being of their people. This chapter explores and discusses the context, the potential, and the critical preconditions for city leadership for health in the twenty-first century. Leadership encompasses a variety of qualities, skills, and styles and can be addressed from many perspectives. The focus here in this chapter is mainly on four aspects of city leadership: political leadership, leadership for change and innovation, value-based leadership, and capacity for effective leadership and governance for health.
