Here's How It Works
We're elevating new voices in city building and supporting bold projects that strengthen communities. We are looking for future city leaders with creative solutions that:
Activate public life in public spaces
Enhance mobility options
Build a culture of civic engagement
Public space, mobility, and civic engagement have always been central to Emerging City Champions. With the pandemic and nation-wide protests highlighting deep inequities in our systems, it’s clear that we need to invest in diverse young leaders to create more resilient, inclusive, and equitable communities for our collective future.
Virtual
Learning
Lab
In the past, Emerging City Champions kicked off with an in-person ECC Studio in Toronto, Canada. This year, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the fellowship will be completely online, beginning with a Virtual Learning Lab at the end of August that will equip participants with the tools they need to begin implementing their community projects.
Are You Eligible?
Applications for the 2020 fellowship are now closed.
