Cities from around the world have answered the call<\/a> 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<\/a> competition that aims to identify problems and share solutions globally.<\/p>\n

The problems the competition will be looking at include urban management, energy efficiency, transportation, and future government.<\/p>\n

While London is trying to limit CO2 emissions, Barcelona is looking for new ways to inject wealth into failing neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n

The first round of judging will begin in February.<\/p>\n
