More than 60 community members took up this year's challenge to share their ideas on how to contribute to sustainable cities and communities. We were impressed by the level of interest and the quality of the submissions. The eight best ideas, selected by community voting and the jury, will be presented on 28 September. The alumni will try to prove their concept in three-minute pitches to both the community and the jury.
