Cities of Service Announces Ten Finalists For the 2019 Engaged Cities Award

NEW YORK – Cities of Service today announced 10 finalists for the Engaged Cities Award, their recognition program that elevates the work being done in cities to partner with residents and solve a diverse range of problems. The award, underwritten by Bloomberg Philanthropies, highlights the ways that city leaders are co-creating the future with residents and allows cities around the world to learn best practices and implement similar solutions in their own communities.

“In our second year of the Engaged Cities Award, we are more heartened than ever to see that city leaders continue to break down barriers to citizen participation and involvement,” said Myung J. Lee, Cities of Service Executive Director. “The ten finalist cities show the power of working alongside their residents to improve lives and provide a model for others to follow.” 

The 10 finalist cities are:

  • Atlanta, Georgia
  • Aurora, Illinois
  • Bogotá, Colombia
  • Chicago, Illinois
  • Flint, Michigan
  • Lakewood, Colorado
  • London, United Kingdom
  • Orlando, Florida
  • Plymouth, United Kingdom
  • San Francisco, California
Finalists tackled challenges related to the environment and sustainability, health and safety, neighborhood revitalization, and more. The 10 finalists were selected based on key selection criteria, including significant work with citizens to tackle a public problem, clear evidence of impact, and potential to apply their strategy to other problems and geographies.
