ATHENS, March 18 (Xinhua) -- The Athens Roadmap for Inclusive Growth in Cities was launched on Monday at the Greek capital which hosts the fourth meeting of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Champion Mayors for Inclusive Growth Initiative.

During an event held at the Athens City Hall, OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria and Mayor of Athens Yiorgos Kaminis presented the document which "charters the way forward on how cities can leverage innovation, in particular, public sector-related, technological, and social innovation, in order to bolster their inclusive growth agendas," according to an OECD press release.

More than 30 mayors and representatives from municipalities from all over the world participated in the meeting, supporting the roadmap, which is the most detailed action plan adopted since the initiative's launch in 2016, Gurria said.

"The roadmap is a guide for cities and their leaders on how to seize innovation as a tool for more inclusive growth... Champion Mayors commit to leverage the full potential of innovation to ensure that we progress together as a society," he emphasized, addressing the event.
