United Technologies Corporation (UTC) has launched a sustainable urbanization project, Citizens for the City, by introducing a Neighbourhood Improvement Partnership Challenge. The project will aid planned urban growth by bringing stakeholders in sustainable urban planning together through research, reports, competitions and other initiatives. The Challenge encourages citizens to come together to resolve civic issues in the areas of mobility, hygiene and sanitation, safety and energy conservation. The best projects, selected byban eminent jury panel, will share the Citizens for the City Grant worth INR 1 crore. The Challenge is being implemented by the Centre for Public Problem Solving (CPPS), a division of Imagine Bangalore, with support from EMBARQ India. CPPS is a think tank working towards a collaborative approach for problem solving of urban issues. UTC is funding this program through a leading non-profit organization, United Way of Bengaluru.
