To enable 100 cities to better address the increasing shocks and stresses of the 21st century, The Rockefeller Foundation has launched the 100 Resilient Cities Centennial Challenge. One hundred cities from across the globe will be selected to receive technical support and resources for developing and implementing plans for urban resilience.

Municipal government leaders, or major institutions that have a predominant affiliation / association with the city and demonstrate collaborative partnership with a municipal government, are invited to register. Registration is required by September 23, 2013 in order to receive the application.
