On the basis of the City Challenges, 18 groups of university students, with diverse academic backgrounds, have been recruited from Kenya, Ethiopia, Colombia, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea and Denmark to work on the city challenges prior to the C40-summit. Each group will develop a solution roadmap to a specific city challenge. This city’s challenge may not be from their country/city of origin.
Within the framework of their university courses, the students will approach the city challenge from different angles and disciplines, while developing city roadmaps with visionary and innovative solutions that tap into existing, world-class solutions.
