Challenging Latin American Cities to Change
This could be the biggest task yet for the Bloomberg Philanthropies Mayors Challenge.
How do you build a useful network among cities scattered across more than 10,000 kilometers? This is the mission of this fall’s Bloomberg Philanthropies Mayors Challenge, as it takes on what could be its most ambitious task to date.
In the previous two rounds of the challenge, mayors submitted bright, city-fixing ideas for the U.S., and then Europe, with five winners each receiving significant funding and mentoring for their projects. This year the challenge moves to Latin America and the Caribbean, and will have to grapple with an entirely new socio-political landscape.
