Bis 2030 werden geschätzte 5 Milliarden Menschen in den größten Städten der Welt leben. Basierend auf dem UN-Ziel für nachhaltige Entwicklung 11.3 wurde der internationale Preis Prix BLOXHUB Interactive ins Leben gerufen, um menschenzentrierte, digitale Lösungen für die globalen Herausforderungen der schnellen Urbanisierung zu ermöglichen. An der Schnittstelle von Raum, Technologie und Verhalten werden wir versuchen, neue Möglichkeiten zu erschließen, um digitale Technologie für lebenswertere Städte zu nutzen.
