How might we use technology to create a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future?
The world's cities face complex challenges, from climate change and resource consumption to mobility, housing, accessibility, public health, and beyond.
For this challenge, identify a real-world problem and build a solution that helps make our cities and communities better places.
Your project should connect to one or more of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),
You don't need to address all of them. Choose the goal(s) that best connect to your problem.
