ADB City Builders Challenge: Reimagining Urban Futures

In this challenge, participants are invited to tackle real urban issues—like flooding, traffic congestion, and inequality—by modeling city segments using interactive digital tools.

As cities across Asia and the Pacific rapidly evolve, many challenges remain hidden or feel too complex to solve. By visualizing these problems, participants can break them down into clear, shareable models that spark awareness and fresh ideas.

This challenge aims to empower individuals from any background to explore solutions, share bold ideas, and help shape more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable cities for the future.

How might we use digital tools to turn complex urban challenges into clear, inclusive, and actionable solutions for better cities?

Load up your favorite city builder, reimagine a real place in Asia and the Pacific, and share your vision in the ADB City Builders Challenge—because bold ideas build better cities.
