The 2021 PM editorial calendar focused on the aspects of local government that matter most to its practitioners. From 12 issues, the articles that resonated most with PM readers this year represent a great cross-section of these topics: equity and inclusion, homelessness, housing, policing, ethics, and career development, to name a few.

We invite you to catch up on any of these articles you missed over the past year, or give them another read.
