C40 : Reinventing Cities Competition
A global competition for innovative carbon – free and resilient urban projects
BRIEF
The Reinventing Cities competition is a call for urban projects to drive carbon-neutral and resilient urban regeneration across the globe and to implement the most innovative ideas to transform underutilized sites into beacons of sustainability and resiliency.
Reinventing Cities will:
- Help drive forward public policy making to support decarbonized, sustainable, intelligent and resilient Cities;
- Support the implementation of new ideas and innovations that can be rolled out on a global scale;
- Actively drive collaboration between the private and public sectors to deliver new approaches to delivering low carbon urbanization;
- Reduce the impact of emissions due to the buildings, as close to zero carbon as possible.
- Each Reinventing Cities project, developed on land proposed by the participating Cities, will serve as a model for carbon-neutral development, demonstrating innovative climate solutions, providing local community benefits and be replicable in cities around the world.
