How can cities build resilience, inclusivity, and sustainability in the face of climate change, housing shortages, and governance challenges? Around the world, urban centers are reimagining themselves to meet the needs of diverse populations while shaping greener, smarter, and more vibrant communities.
This prestigious award honors municipalities that demonstrate bold progress in adequate housing, people‑centered smart cities, green and resilient development, and effective governance. Rather than spotlighting single projects, it evaluates a city’s overall journey toward sustainable urban transformation, recognizing innovation, adaptability, and measurable impact.
Winning cities gain global visibility, opportunities to showcase best practices, and access to international networks and high‑level platforms that amplify their leadership in sustainable development. Each year, five cities from different regions are selected, offering inspiration and peer learning for urban leaders worldwide.
💡 Support available — prestigious recognition, global visibility, and opportunities for peer learning and cooperation for selected cities.
