Transformative Cities Finale: What is it about?
Between mid-September and mid-October, nearly 6000 people participated in the Transformative Cities vote. The finalists organised online and physical actions to bring attention to their transformative work. It is time to celebrate them!

On the occasion of the International Conference ‘The Future is Public’, the Transformative Cities Initiative will bring 8 of the finalists together to debate and discuss the opportunities and challenges for transforming our local contexts so we address the global challenges we are facing. During this unique event we will announce which initiatives received more popular support and who will receive the Transformative Cities 2019 People’s Choice Award.

This exceptional event will be live-streamed worldwide, giving the opportunity for those outside Amsterdam to engage and be part of this celebration of collectives.
