Strong Cities Network DIGG – What's the Relationship Between Strong Cities, ICLEI, and Obama's Strong Cities Initiative?
ICLEI
'''ICLEI was established in 1990 but is strong linked to the Rio conference on climate change in 1992.
Goal is "creating a liveable planet." ICLEI stands for Local Governments for Sustainability and "promotes" UN's Agenda 21. (may be the architect)

Founded in 1990 and formerly known as the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, the international association was established when more than 200 local governments from 43 countries convened at its inaugural conference, the World Congress of Local Governments for a Sustainable Future, at the United Nations in New York in September 1990 (Wikipedia).

Strong Cities Network
The Strong Cities Network (SCN) – which launches September 29th at the United Nations – will empower municipal bodies to fill this gap while working with civil society and safeguarding the rights of local citizens and communities…. The SCN will strengthen strategic planning and practices to address violent extremism in all its forms by fostering collaboration among cities, municipalities and other sub-national authorities….It will be run by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), a leading international “think-and-do” tank with a long-standing track record of working to prevent violent extremism.

ISD receives funding from both the Mayor of London and the US gov't:

[see CAP for grants to ISD totally more than $1mil from the US State Dept in 2017]

ISD is also involved with NATO, German Marshall Fund, Getty family and Soros' Open Society Foundations – see https://archive.fo/E0oJm (Information Warfare thread archive from May 2010)
[Why is a private organization in London running a program with __deep ties into the US gov't at both the federal and local levels? ISD received a LOT of US federal funding in 2017; Bill De Blasio and Loretta Lynch both figure prominently.]'''

Strong Cities, Strong Communities Initiative
An Obama Admin project launched in 2011. Strong Cities, Strong Communities Initiative
Here is their first annual report: https://www.huduser.gov/portal/publications/huddoc.pdf
From their final report in 2017:
Despite having faced tremendous economic and demographic challenges for the last few decades, local leaders and stakeholders have a strong vision for change and seek a better federal partner. This is the core of SC2—how the federal government can collaborate and coordinate across federal agencies, partner with states and localities, coordinate resources, and use evidence-based data to support a community’s vision and serve as a better, more responsive federal partner.

[What is this project and does it connect to either ICLEI or Strong Cities Initiative? Why project was a 'wrap' when Trump admin took over?]

Summary
All three projects share the common goal of getting cities to " expand their focus way beyond the local level. From this anon's perspective, the goal is to destroy local infrastructure in the service of a New World Order in which local governments become the local arm of a top-down bureaucracy.
