Wellbeing City Award

We believe humans should be at the heart of our thinking on the future of cities. By focusing on wellbeing, urban planners and leaders can build comprehensive and inclusive policies that improve life for urbanites. Those cities that have committed to promoting wellbeing deserve to be recognized and rewarded — and we must highlight them in order to inspire others.

This Award was developed to recognize cities that place their citizens’ wellbeing at the center of urban policy.

It allows cities committed to wellbeing to appear on the global stage to tell their story, promote their city, share best practices to inspire and to be replicated.

The Award will create a global standard and encourage and show cities how they can prioritize wellbeing.

It serves as the meeting ground for a community of urban changemakers committed to promoting wellbeing.
