“Here is a project that started as having nothing to do with climate, but absolutely is climate and inequality related. I can really feel it resonating on the score of thinking differently.” -Jury Member
What makes a project resonate in this moment? That is the question put to our world-class jury of architects and planners, real estate developers, activists, leaders of major international urban agencies and NGOs. Each of the finalists is worthy. But which has the potential to inspire change in other cities? Which should be elevated for a global audience and recognized with the $250,000 grand prize?
Join us next week to find out who the jury selected – and decide for yourself!

COVID-19 has disrupted cities everywhere. Community groups, businesses, and governments are tasked with responding and rebuilding from the pandemic – while still striving to make cities more equitable and resilient for everyone. From India to Kenya, many projects and organizations that submitted to the Prize for Cities are responding to COVID and utilizing their unique approaches to find new ways forward.
