"The Guangzhou Award can help promote the process of urban innovation, show and provide concrete cases to the international community, and prove the importance of innovation," said Nicholas You, the founder and honorary chairman of the UN-Habitat World Urban Campaign Steering Committee and advisor of the Guangzhou Award.

The 2022 Workshop for Thought Leaders and Guangzhou Award 10th Anniversary Celebration was held from Dec 12 to 15 in Guangzhou.

The Guangzhou Award aims to advocate the scientific concept of urban innovation and development as well as promote the sustainable development of global cities.

You believes that the Guangzhou Award is an award that can provide excellent information exchanges.

The Guangzhou Award has reached the stage of developing tools and methodologies, and the Global Urban Innovation Assessment System is now preparing to release them. This evaluation system, which can help cities improve their innovation and governance capabilities, was created through 10 years of developing the Guangzhou Award, You added.
