[Geo4All] The Smart Cities Challenge

[Suchith Anand]

Might be of interest to colleagues in Canada.


============================


The Smart Cities Challenge is a pan-Canadian competition open to communities of all sizes, including municipalities, regional governments and Indigenous communities (First Nations, Métis and Inuit). The Challenge encourages communities to adopt a smart cities approach to improve the lives of their residents through innovation, data and connected technology.

  *   One prize of up to $50 million open to all communities, regardless of population;
  *   Two prizes of up to $10 million open to all communities with populations under 500,000 people; and
  *   One prize of up to $5 million open to all communities with populations under 30,000 people.


Infrastructure Canada is engaging Indigenous leaders, communities and organizations to finalize the design of a competition specific to Indigenous communities that will reflect their unique realities and issues. Indigenous communities are also eligible to compete for all the prizes in the current competition.
