Cities from around the world have answered the call for innovative and sustainable solutions to urban problems. Barcelona, Boston, Christchurch, London, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro are just a few who have entered Citymart.com’s competition that aims to identify problems and share solutions globally.
The problems the competition will be looking at include urban management, energy efficiency, transportation, and future government.
While London is trying to limit CO2 emissions, Barcelona is looking for new ways to inject wealth into failing neighbourhoods.
The first round of judging will begin in February.
