Bloomberg Philanthropies：MAYORS CHALLENGE
彭博社發起的：全球市長挑戰賽
Just Announced: This Year's 50 Champion Cities
在此宣布：本年度入選50大城市
COVID-19 has changed daily life for people around the world
and required that cities do more with fewer resources than
ever before. Yet, even in the face of a public-health crisis,
social unrest, massive budget shortfalls, and mounting climate
disasters, mayors are taking bold steps to tackle their cities’
most pressing challenges.
COVID-19 新冠肺炎病毒改變了世界各地人們的日常生活，並要求所在
城市用以比以往更少的資源來做更多的事情。然而，在即使面臨公共衛
生危機、社會動盪、大規模預算短缺和日益嚴重的氣候災害的當下，全
球市長們也正在採取更大膽的措施來應對城市所面臨的最緊迫的挑戰。
The 2021 Global Mayors Challenge is the farthest reaching, most
ambitious to date. 631 cities from around the world submitted
applications earlier this year and, from those, a committee of
global experts has selected the 50 most innovative urban solutions
to emerge in the wake of COVID-19 to advance in the competition.
Of these 50 cities, 15 will win $1 million each—to help them
implement their breakthrough ideas and, ultimately, to spread
their ideas to other cities around the world.
2021年全球市長挑戰賽是迄今為止影響最深遠、規模最大的比賽。今年年初，
來自世界各地的 631個城市提出了參賽申請，全球組成的專家委員會從這些
城市中選出50個擁有最具創新性解決方案的城市，而這些脫穎而出的應對方
案都是因應COVID-19蔓延而出現的。
在這50個城市中，有15個城市將分別贏得100萬美元：用以幫助他們實現突
破性的想法，最終將他們的想法傳播到世界各地的其他城市。
WHO IS THE PROGRAM FOR ?
Cities with populations greater than 100,000 residents were invited
to apply for the 2021 Global Mayors Challenge. The application period
is now closed.
誰是本計劃的邀請對象？
2021年全球市長挑戰賽邀請了人口超過10萬的城市來參加。申請期現已結束。
WHAT IS A GREAT IDEA ?
The Mayors Challenge has identified the 50 leading urban innovations
that were imagined or launched in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While at different stages of implementation, these ideas all have
potential for meaningful impact and the ability to spread to other
cities.
什麼是絕妙主意？
市長挑戰賽選出了在COVID-19大流行之後規劃或推出的50項領先全球的創新
點子。雖然這些方案可能處於不同的實施階段，但這些想法都有可能產生有
意義的影響，並有能力傳播到其他城市。
WHAT CAN CITIES WIN ?
The 2021 Global Mayors Challenge gives 50 champion cities access to
world-renowned experts in innovation and data to help them improve
upon their ideas. Fifteen grand-prize winners will then receive
$1 million each to begin the implementation of their breakthrough
ideas.
獲選城市能贏得什麼？
2021年全球市長挑戰賽讓50個冠軍城市能夠接觸到世界知名的創新和數據
專家，以幫助他們改進自己的想法。前15名大獎獲得者將各自獲得 100萬
美元，用以開始實施他們突破性的絕妙想法。
以上，希望能幫助大家明白台灣和台北獲得的此一殊榮，中國和日本那麼
多城市雖也參與比賽但未能獲獎的原因應該也是前瞻性和創新度不足導致
鎩羽而歸。
