Transformative Cities Award: Vote for your best finalist

Launched by a group of regional and international organizations that includes HIC, the Transnational Institute (TNI) and the Global Platform for the Right to the City between others, the Transformative Cities initiative draws on the emerging wave of transformative practices and responses taking place at municipal level worldwide, by launching a unique platform and award process that will facilitate the wider dissemination of the lessons and inspiration from such practices.

This year celebrates the 4th edition of the Transformative Cities Award, and you can vote for your best finalist via this page, starting from 6th October and ending on 6th November 2022. Three initiatives for each category (water, energy, housing and food systems) have been chosen, adding up to twelve stories in total. Next, the Transformative Cities initiative has commissioned local journalists to dig deep and pull out the people and practices behind these transformative practices. These stories will be published on different international media-outlets, reaching a global audience.

The practices of transformative change from all over the world has been selected and evaluated by a global, multidisciplinary team in a peer-review process after an open call launched in December 2021. The winning initiatives from the 4 different categories will obtain access to training and capacity building courses for political organising and advocacy.

The 4 winners will be presented in a live-streamed event in the first week of December. Stay tuned for more information.
