From Detroit to Dhaka, cities are where the future is being built — and where inequality must be dismantled. Urban areas are home to more than half the world’s population and drive over 80% of global GDP. But they also hold sharp contrasts: wealth beside poverty, innovation beside neglect.
On July 10, Global Citizen NOW: Detroit will bring together bold thinkers and doers to spotlight city-led solutions — from climate resilience to housing, health care, and jobs. Detroit, a city reimagining its legacy, is the perfect host for this forward-looking conversation.
We believe people are the heartbeat of every city. That’s why we want to hear directly from you. Whether it’s a grassroots project, a vibrant community, or an inspiring local leader — you know what matters where you live.
Your message could be featured at GC NOW and on our platform to help spotlight the stories shaping the cities of tomorrow.
