Applications for the Global Mayors Challenge are open until December 20, 2024. We are calling on mayors worldwide to work with residents and entrepreneurs to radically reimagine their most essential municipal services, from public transportation to waste management, housing and shelter, emergency response, and more. Cities with more than 100,000 residents are eligible to apply.
Twenty-five winning cities will receive $1 million and operational assistance to bring their proposals to life. To learn more, visit our website at Global Mayors Challenge.
