Prize for Cities

Incremental change is not putting communities on track for sustainability, equity and prosperity.  Although successful sustainable change is happening, the solutions and successful efforts towards urban transformation are not identified and publicized.  To right this, the WRI Ross Center Prize for Cities initiative spotlights successful transformative urban change.  Prize for Cities is a global prize awarded to inspire urban change-makers by elevating initiatives and telling stories of successful sustainable urban transformation.  Businesses, local governments, CSOs – all types of organizations and individuals from the public, private, and civil society sectors – are all invited to apply for the 2020-2021 Prize for Cities.
