Biographie


Johanna Rolland has been the Mayor of Nantes and President of Nantes Métropole since 2014. Elected at 35 years of age, she is one of the youngest female mayors of a major city in France. Believing that cities provide appropriate platforms for trialling new solutions faced with the societal changes underway, Johanna Rolland has been involved, since 2014, in various bodies for promoting the voice of cities: the Nantes-Saint-Nazaire metropolitan hub (presidency), France Urbaine (co-presidency of the association of cities), Eurocities network (presidency in 2014/2016). Johanna Rolland also believes that a proportion of the future of France is dreamt up at local level, particularly through a new alliance between the cities, peri-urban and rural local areas to take up the challenges of the 21st century.
