Cities are and always have been buzzing hubs of innovation.
The increasing number of urban inhabitants and density in cities will simply intensify innovation, which is why I am dedicating this category to all the innovative ideas on how to organize urban life. There are different forms of innovation, for example high tech innovation (smart cities), sustainability innovation (green cities) or policy innovation (participatory cities).

Please share any innovative and inspiring urban solutions you know!
