Designing Solutions for Cities in Crisis

About this Accelerator

Now, more than ever, we need innovations for living and working in Indian cities. Urban habitats in India are already fraught with environmental, social, and health stresses. The Covid-19 pandemic has further disrupted urban life dramatically, exposing vulnerabilities and risks in the functioning of our cities. The Urban Works Innovation Challenge 2020-2021 invites applications from passionate innovators and startups who have tech-enabled solutions that can make working in our cities sustainable and safe. The desired Internet-based or App solutions should be strongly grounded in the Indian context and take into account the country’s attributes such as high urban density, workforce diversity, and complex social structure.
