The Sustainable Cities Challenge

The Sustainable Cities Challenge aims to harness the power, creativity and energy of innovation to improve access to safe, equitable and sustainable mobility solutions for all.

Through two stages, the global Sustainable Cities Challenge will award $9 million to improve mobility solutions in cities around the world.

The Sustainable Cities Challenge is designed to address local mobility issues relating to one of three interrelated themes:

• Overcoming mobility barriers
• Strengthening mobility systems
• Advancing low carbon mobility

We received more than 200 entries pouring in from over 150 cities across 46 countries. The 10 shortlisted cities have now been announced, including cities in Brazil, Colombia, India, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States.

In the next stage of the Challenge, three cities will be selected and will go on to host local City Challenges from 2024 to 2026, supported by up to $3 million in funding for innovators per Challenge.
