I listened to an interesting TED talk (can't remember the speaker) but he purported that MAYORS can actually be the key in bringing about social, economic and environmental change.
Without going into too much detail, he said that mayors for the most part are apolitical, and are strictly worried about making their own city great. And many people associate their indemnity with their city.
This Nenshi example shows proves that TED speakers point. Without some big fancy federal to-do, he went out an lured business into Canada.
