The City of Bogotá
Large Scale Impact
The City of Bogotá, represented by Angela Reyes, is awarded for its continuous innovative capacity over time which has embedded imagination within its citymaking. This is best exemplified most recently by the city’s pioneering Care System, the first urban master plan that places caregivers at the centre of policy and service delivery design.
Eric Hubbard
Innovator of the Year
The City of Freetown in Sierra Leone is exposed to extreme climate vulnerabilities due to uncontrolled deforestation and rapid urban expansion. Eric Hubbard has served as senior advisor to the Mayor of Freetown since 2019, where he has guided the design and implementation of several projects tackling climate adaptation and mitigation head on.
Kristina Lunz
Power Shifter
Kristina Lunz is the founder of the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy. The CFFP actively addresses topics and systems where the current status is rooted in patriarchal values and perpetuates systemic violence through capitalism, imperialism, and colonialism.
Jaime Lerner
Legacy
During his 12 years in office as Curitiba's mayor, Jaime Lerner devised many innovative, inexpensive solutions to city problems. From increasing public transit funding and ridership to combating the city's growing litter problem, and implementing plans swiftly.
RISE & SHINE PROJECT
This year we are once again presenting the "Young Faces - Young Spaces" award among the Creative Bureaucracy Festival Awards, for the first time with a European focus. The award highlights outstanding and creative examples of young people's participation in the design of public spaces. Together with More in Common, the Non-Profit Hertie Foundation nominated projects from 10 countries.
This year's Young Faces - Young Spaces Award goes to the project "Rise and Shine" from Šentjur, Slovenia for the involvement and participation of children and young people (13-29 years) in the design of the area municipality.
