Next-Gen Neighborhoods

Imagine a city where technology and innovation work together to make life smoother, safer, and more fun! From traffic lights that adjust based on real-time traffic to trash cans that alert the city when they’re full, smart cities use cutting-edge tech to solve everyday problems. But what if you had the chance to design a feature for a smart city? How would you use technology to improve the lives of everyone who lives there? This Skillbuilder challenges you to dream up a new way to make city living easier, greener, and more efficient for everyone.

Your Task:
Your challenge is to pitch a brand-new feature for a smart city that will make urban life better. Think about a problem you’ve noticed in your own city—like traffic jams, energy waste, or litter—and come up with a high-tech solution to fix it. Write a short proposal to your local government, explaining how your smart city feature works and why it’s a game-changer for residents. Be sure to highlight the benefits, like saving time, money, or resources. Your idea could be the next big step toward building the city of the future!
