Bloomberg Associates has long worked with London to address a series of priorities, including helping to establish London’s first Office of Technology & Innovation, supporting the city’s efforts to provide 100,000 disadvantaged young Londoners with access to high-quality mentors, and collaborating on a program to help businesses cut energy costs and emissions.

Westminster, United Kingdom

Bloomberg Associates has partnered closely with the Westminster City Council to create an action plan to revitalize a key retail corridor on Harrow Road, expanding support for local small business owners.

Newark, New Jersey

Bloomberg Associates has worked with Newark on a wide range of projects. That includes helping to develop the city’s first municipal grant program for the arts, which has awarded over 500 grants totaling more than $3 million, designing and launching a shared bike and e-scooter program that has now been permanently adopted, crafting a plan to help the city revitalize its downtown with low-to-no-cost financial assistance for businesses, and opening innovative housing communities that move residents off the streets and toward permanent homes.

Phoenix, Arizona

To tackle extreme heat, Bloomberg Associates helped Phoenix develop a master plan that uses data and 3D modeling to pinpoint places where shade is needed most – guiding efforts to plant 27,000 trees and create 500 shade structures. We also advised an effort to transform an empty retail building into a major workforce training center and helped to identify and deactivate unused city phone lines, saving nearly $2 million annually.

Mayor Kate Gallego of Phoenix joined community members for the launch of a new shaded playground, part of efforts supported by Bloomberg Associates to create more places with shade for residents.

Milan, Italy

In Milan, Bloomberg Associates helped the city develop its new €15 million strategy to strengthen neighborhood economies.

Bratislava, Slovakia

With Bloomberg Associates’ support, Bratislava broke ground on its most ambitious street redesign in decades, addressing long-standing safety and traffic challenges by adding protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks, and new public space. The city also approved its first-ever climate action plan, created with our support. As part of the plan, Bratislava launched a program to help businesses lower energy use, cut costs, and install renewable systems, inspired by similar work in London.

Bloomberg Associates helped to organize Bratislava’s second annual Mulchfest, a community event that recycled yard waste into garden mulch and engaged residents in the city’s new climate action plan.
