city leadership

Town hall executives

City leadership refers to the people who govern or guide a municipality—mayors, city councils, and top administrators.

The phrase often appears in news coverage when officials act collectively: City leadership announced new zoning regulations.

It can also describe the quality of governance: The town suffered from weak city leadership during the crisis.
