PLANO, Texas (Nov. 7, 2023) – The Toyota Mobility Foundation, in partnership with Challenge Works and World Resources Institute, announces the shortlist for the $9-million Sustainable Cities Challenge. Launched in June 2023, the global mobility challenge aims to help cities prepare for the future and has the potential to transform the lives of millions of people around the world. Cities were invited to enter the Challenge by identifying areas in which innovation would help them expand access to safe, affordable, and inclusive modes of transportation; harness the power of data to create connected and resilient mobility ecosystems; and reduce environmental impact through low-carbon and renewable solutions. Over 200 entries were received during this entry period from over 150 cities in 46 countries globally. They were assessed on the impact the Challenge would have, the receptiveness of the issue to open innovation approaches, capacity within the city, and the focus of the entry. The shortlist includes cities in Brazil, Colombia, India, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The 10 shortlisted cities are: Bengaluru, India Bengaluru is predicted to be the fastest-growing city in the Asia-Pacific and is the second most congested city in the world where traffic accidents are common. The ever-expanding city is looking for innovative ways to enhance road safety by crowdsourcing the identification of road safety concerns such as faulty traffic signals and accident-prone areas. Detroit, United States Detroit, known as the first motor city, has a heavy manufacturing and commercial freight industry. High vehicle traffic has led to severe health and environmental problems, particularly poor air quality. To combat these issues, Detroit aims to address growing freight emissions as global trade expands. Fortaleza, Brazil Fortaleza, has revolutionized its urban mobility systems in the last 10 years. However, there are still challenges to be overcome, such as access to public transport for low-income communities. Now, the city is seeking ways to make transportation more affordable and efficient. Medellín, Colombia Nicknamed the “City of Eternal Spring,” Medellín’s mountainous terrain and sloping streets create significant mobility challenges for people with disabilities and those who care for them – the majority of whom are women and low-income workers. The region is looking for integrated approaches to make mobility more inclusive and accessible. Mexico City, Mexico The historic center of Mexico City is not only a World Heritage Site, but also the largest commercial hub in the city. Its heritage status means that it is difficult to carry out substantial modifications to the urban landscape or its infrastructure. The city needs to find innovative ways to improve its transport systems to meet the needs of its residents. New Orleans, United States Known for its French and Spanish Creole architecture and rich culture, the “Big Easy” faces a huge challenge: evacuations ahead of rapidly intensifying hurricanes. As the increase of rapidly intensifying hurricanes threaten coastal communities, the City of New Orleans and stakeholder partners seek an innovative solution to the challenge of evacuating vulnerable residents as hurricanes become increasingly dangerous on a much shorter timeline. Seberang Perai, Malaysia Evidence points to a settlement in Seberang Perai since the Neolithic era. Today, industrial parks consume large amounts of energy and produce high levels of emissions, creating health risks for nearby communities. As the Batu Kawan Industrial Park in Seberang Perai expands, the city aims to work with local businesses and industry to reduce the carbon footprint and environmental impact of freight. Varanasi, India One of the world’s oldest continually inhabited cities, Varanasi has seen the use of e-rickshaws grow exponentially in recent years. However, the sector is currently highly disorganized and poorly regulated. The city is looking for ways in which efficiency can be optimized, with routes more evenly distributed across the city. Venice, Italy Venice’s exceptional historical and cultural heritage is integrated into a unique environment made of dry land and water. In recent years, the City administration has invested resources to increase sustainable mobility options within the City. The Challenge faced by the City of Venice is to overcome cultural, technological, and operational barriers to enhance sustainable transportation options and encourage behavior change towards more sustainable choices. York, United Kingdom York is a perfect mix of heritage and hi-tech, with a Viking past and Roman roots, the ancient city of York is seeking to use existing and future innovation to future-proof mobility in the city. It wants to combine its fragmented modes of public, shared and private transportation into a single, cohesive fleet to increase accessibility, affordability, reduce emissions and journey times. The shortlisted cities are invited to attend a capacity building academy and will receive support developing their challenge design, becoming part of a wider network of other innovative city teams. Open innovation Challenges often develop and evolve throughout the process as the city’s specific needs are understood more closely. Three cities from the shortlist will be selected to launch their own City Challenges and in mid-2024, the call will be launched to global innovators to work with the winning cities. Innovators could be homegrown – living in the city or country chosen – or may be from anywhere across the globe, but with solutions applicable and tailored to the winning cities. The semi-finalist innovators for each city will be decided in late 2024, and the winning cities and innovators who are announced in 2026 will share $9 million in funding to test and roll out their solutions. “This shortlist shows how cities of all sizes around the world face a wide variety of mobility challenges,” said Ryan Klem, director of programs at the Toyota Mobility Foundation. “We can see how these cities are already making efforts to improve their transportation systems and we are very excited to begin supporting them directly in the next stage of the Sustainable Cities Challenge.” “These cities have highlighted different areas where innovation has the potential to make mobility systems more sustainable, resilient, and accessible,” said Kathy Nothstine, head of future cities at Challenge Works. “The Sustainable Cities Challenge will bring cities and innovators together with city residents to tailor solutions to real world challenges through open innovation.” “By making transport systems safer, more sustainable and affordable, cities can improve access to jobs and education, and improve people’s health,” said Ben Welle, director of integrated transport and innovation at WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities. “The Sustainable Cities Challenge will help to improve the quality of life for people living in cities all over the world.” The Sustainable Cities Challenge is funded by the Toyota Mobility Foundation and has been designed in partnership with Challenge Works and World Resources Institute.

It means everything to my family, and my brothers are very proud,” said Llamas, who plans to study environmental engineering. “The Evans Scholarship presents endless opportunities, especially the chance to meet Viktor Hovland, who played a role in making this possible for me.” Llamas had the opportunity to meet Hovland and Ilka Horstmeier, Member of the Board of Management for People and Places, BMW AG, during the third round of the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields Country Club. “We are proud of our longstanding partnership with the Western Golf Association, and the positive impact the BMW Championship has on the lives of many young scholars,” said Horstmeier. “BMW strongly believes in the role that corporations can play in supporting organizations like the Evans Scholars Foundation, which provides opportunities for young people to achieve their full potential.” All proceeds from the 2023 BMW Championship will go towards the ESF, which grants full college tuition and housing scholarships to deserving caddies across the country. Since 2007, the BMW Championship has raised over $45 million to support the ESF, enabling more than 3,300 students to fulfill their dreams of attending college. Horstmeier also visited the Evans Scholars House at Northwestern University, the oldest ESF house in the USA, where the scholars live together on campus. Joined by John Kaczkowski, the CEO of the Western Golf Association and the Evans Scholars Foundation, Horstmeier engaged in meaningful discussions with Evans Scholars and alumni. While LimeWire was built on the foundation laid by file-sharing systems like Gnutella, none were as influential as Napster. Napster, a peer-to-peer (P2P) platform, revolutionized the music industry by allowing users to share and download MP3 files from each other’s computers. It offered an alternative to traditional music consumption, where individuals had to buy CDs, vinyl, or cassettes. Napster, which launched on June 1, 1999, quickly gained popularity and attracted millions of users. It provided listeners with the ability to download their favorite artists’ entire discography, and its growth was unprecedented. However, the platform faced legal battles and controversy due to copyright infringement. Users were freely sharing copyrighted music without permission from artists or record labels, leading to legal action from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and bands like Metallica suing Napster. The RIAA’s legal actions dealt a heavy financial blow to Napster. With no legal way to continue operating, the company ultimately shut down in 2001. However, this created an opportunity for LimeWire to enter the scene. LimeWire, building on the advancements made by Napster and other file-sharing systems, offered a similar P2P experience. It allowed users to search for and download various files, including music, videos, documents, and more. Like its predecessors, LimeWire functioned by connecting users directly with each other and enabling them to share files from their personal computers. Unfortunately, LimeWire also faced legal challenges. In 2006, the RIAA filed a lawsuit against LimeWire for copyright infringement, alleging that the software enabled users to illegally share copyrighted content. After a lengthy legal battle, LimeWire was found liable for copyright infringement in 2010. The court ordered LimeWire to shut down its operations and pay substantial damages, totaling over $1 billion. This marked the end of LimeWire’s era as a popular file-sharing platform. Since then, other legal music streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music have emerged, providing a legal and convenient way for users to access and enjoy music. These services compensate artists and copyright holders for their work while ensuring that users can listen to their favorite songs legally and ethically. The story of LimeWire highlights the transformative impact of file-sharing platforms like Napster and the subsequent legal battles they faced. Although they changed the way people consumed music, ultimately, the music industry adapted and developed new legal avenues for music distribution, allowing artists to be fairly compensated for their creations. In fall 2022, the Volkswagen Group laid the foundation for the fundamental transformation of Volkswagen to become a leader in digital and fully electric mobility with its 10-point plan.

LONDON (June 21, 2023) – The Toyota Mobility Foundation, in partnership with Challenge Works and World Resources Institute, has launched a $9 million global challenge to help cities adapt to the future, with the potential to transform the lives of millions around the world. As cities grow and evolve, the challenges of moving people and goods in reliable, efficient, and inclusive ways have never been more essential. At the same time, opportunities to apply advances in transport modes, infrastructure design, operations, energy options, and connected data systems have never been more promising. The Sustainable Cities Challenge aims to improve the lives of people by increasing access to jobs, education, and other essential services. It will bring cities and innovators together to implement mobility solutions that could reduce carbon, improve accessibility, and use data to build more resilient transport systems. “Our experience over the past decade has underscored the importance of local cities’ buy-in and engagement with our activities,” Ryan Klem, director of programs at the Toyota Mobility Foundation, said. “Throughout the Sustainable Cities Challenge, we are looking to work alongside cities to find innovative solutions in the areas they identify as critical to develop a scalable model for the cities of tomorrow.” Call for Entries Entry to the first stage of the Challenge is open to city leaders and municipal governments, transport departments and other related local and regional agencies. Entries should be submitted according to one or more of the following three themes: Shortlisted cities will be invited to attend a capacity building academy in the U.S. and will receive support developing their challenge design, becoming part of a wider network of other innovative city teams. In February 2024, three winning cities will be selected to host a City Challenge to attract entries from global innovators. Innovators could be homegrown – living in the city or country chosen – or from anywhere across the globe, but with solutions applicable and adapted to the winning cities. The winning innovators for each city will be announced in late 2024, and the cities and innovators will share $9 million in funding to test and roll out their solutions. Increase mobility solutions for a more sustainable future Many cities are now adapting to new behaviors and lifestyles, as our lives move increasingly online, and patterns of work change. With more than half of the world’s population currently living in cities, the United Nations predicts this will increase to two-thirds by 2050. Additionally, cities are responsible for 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The Sustainable Cities Challenge is funded by the Toyota Mobility Foundation and has been designed in partnership with Challenge Works and World Resources Institute. Challenge Works is an international leader in developing challenge programs to drive new thinking and find creative solutions to problems facing society. World Resources Institute is a global research organization which works with partners to develop practical solutions that improve people’s lives and ensure that nature can thrive. “Brilliant people all over the world are working hard to create innovative solutions to help mobility systems work better, and with a lower carbon footprint,” Kathy Nothstine, head of future cities at Challenge Works, said. “The Sustainable Cities Challenge will help those innovators interface with cities to test and adapt solutions according to local needs to improve people’s lives. Challenges like this can act as catalysts for change by accelerating innovation in real-world settings.” In addition to helping cities decarbonize, transforming mobility systems will help cities become more inclusive and accessible for the people living in them. Currently, 1.2 billion people living in cities do not have access to one or more core services. “Cities are in need of innovations to foster sustainable mobility that reduces emissions, improves health, and increases access to jobs and opportunity for all,” Ben Welle, director of integrated transport and innovation at World Resources Institute’s Ross Center for Sustainable Cities, said. “The Sustainable Cities Challenge is an excellent opportunity for cities globally to build capacity and support innovators to work hand in hand with officials.” To find out more and to enter, visit the Sustainable Cities Challenge website.
