A Life Dedicated to Public Service
During his two highly successful terms as mayor, Lussert was instrumental in building a town that catered to the well-being of its citizens and prioritizing sustainable development projects. Acting as the vice-president of the Metropolis, a position he held from 2017 till 2020, he was assigned to deal with significant risk prevention strategies.

Remarkable Achievements as Mayor
Lussert’s mayorship witnessed considerable improvements in several areas including demographic growth, education, and food sustainability. Under his leadership, the town’s population swelled by 20%, leading to the establishment of six more classes to support the educational needs of the new inhabitants. In line with the global shift towards healthier diets, the school canteen began serving organic and locally sourced meals.
Progressive Urban Planning
