The need for a digital revolution in our cities

Prix BLOXHUB Interactive, Ars Electronica

By 2030, an estimated 5 billion will be living in the world’s major cities. Based on UN Sustainable Development Goal 11.3, the international prize Prix BLOXHUB Interactive has been established to enable human-centered, digital solutions to the global challenges brought on by rapid urbanization.

Prix BLOXHUB Interactive – how can we make cities more livable using digital technology?
