Kigali has been nominated among 16 finalists for the first edition of the Wellbeing City Award, an award that recognizes cities placing wellbeing at the center of urban design, planning, and policies.
The Wellbeing City Award is the world’s first global competition recognizing city-led action on urban wellbeing.
Kigali which was nominated in the public health category is the only African city among the last 16. Kigali's nomination was attributed to the bi-monthly car-free day which is organised to give city residents a platform to do physical exercises which always ends with a health check-ups for different health complications.
The awards were developed by NewCities, a global non-profit organisation that aims at shaping a better urban future as well as the most progressive and innovative ideas to drive positive changes in cities through events, research and urban innovation projects.
The organisation works with leaders from business, government, academia, civil society, the media and the arts.
