Facing tomorrow’s challenges, cities worldwide benefit from putting wellbeing at the heart of their approach. We see planning and policy making more inclined to public health investments, efforts to promote diverse and cohesive communities together with sustainable environments, and stronger local economies.

The Wellbeing Cities Award recognizes those initiatives by offering a powerful global platform to tell their story and inspire others. Additionally, following a two-round application process, laureates will be announced at the annual Wellbeing Cities Forum on June 16-17, in Montréal, QC, where they will meet a global network of leaders committed to urban wellbeing.

Applications are now open for the 2020 edition. We will accept applications in the following categories:

  • Integrating nature and biodiversity,
  • Planning for better urban health,
  • Building a vibrant urban economy,
  • Supporting cohesive communities,
  • Prioritizing wellbeing

For more information about the Award and application process, you can read the Applicant’s guide via their website. Apply by February 5th
