Applications are now open to the 2025 Mayors Challenge, inviting cities from anywhere in the world with populations of 100,000+ people to apply and reimagine the most essential services they deliver to residents, from public transportation to waste management, housing and shelter, emergency response, and more.
The 25 winning ideas will come from city leaders who aim to raise expectations, of residents and civil servants alike, around what’s possible. And they will remind the world that it is through local governments that we inspire trust, improve lives, and move the world forward from the bottom up.
Each winning city will receive $1 million, dedicated project staff, and multiyear support to help bring their ideas to life.
Apply here until 20 December 2024 at 11:59 p.m. EST, in Arabic, English, French, Portuguese, or Spanish language.
