2025 Global Mayors Challenge

Bloomberg Philantropies has recently launched the 2025 Global Mayors Challenge, an initiative that invites cities from anywhere in the world with populations of 100,000+ residents to reimagine the most essential service they deliver to residents. 

The 2025 Global Mayors Challenge calls on mayors to work with residents and entrepreneurs to radically reimagine their most essential municipal services, from public transportation to waste management, housing and shelter, emergency response, culture and more. Each winning city will receive $1 million, dedicated project staff, and multiyear support from Bloomberg Philanthropies to help bring their ideas to life.

Applications are due to 20th December 2024. More information here.
