This technical cooperation's (TC) objective is to creatively re-think challenges in Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) cities to co-create a more sustainable urban future in the region. Specifically, this TC aims to leverage IDB Cities Lab's experience in digital tools, participatory methods, and agile innovation techniques to (i) generate valuable insight on current trends and expectations on urban living; (ii) foster meaningful conversations to develop new agreements; (iii) test innovative solutions and assess their scalability and replicability into IDB operations; and (iv) generate and disseminate knowledge. Some key urban challenges that the IDB Cities Lab has identified from numerous global and regional partners are repurposing city centers (both historic and business centers), integration of informal settlements, and innovative urban development in Amazonia.
