The Guangzhou International Award for Urban Innovation celebrates innovative practices that contribute to the local implementation of the 17 SDGs or the New Urban Agenda. By recognizing initiatives that support the development of inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and human settlements the award serves as a platform for inspiration for cities around the world.

The Call for Submissions will be open until the 31st of October 2020 (formerly 1st of July 2020). Proposals will be assessed according to five criteria: innovativeness, effectiveness, replicability/transferability, significance and relevance of the initiative to the Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda.
