Indore keeps winning accolades for its solid waste management. Now, Indore Smart City Development Ltd has excelled in ‘Real Play City Challenge, 2022’, in which 41 countries participated.

Three cities of India were announced as winners in different categories: Indore, Kohima and Warangal. The three winning cities developed their projects as part of the national Nurturing Neighbourhoods Challenge (NNC) launched in 2019.

‘Real Play City Challenge, 2022’, received a total of 94 entries from 41 countries out of which Indore, the lone city from Madhya Pradesh, won under the category of ‘Places where play supports climate action’. Kohima, in Nagaland, won in the ‘Places where play heals people’ category and Warangal, in Telangana, won in the ‘Places where play unites us all’ category.

It was the first time that all three categories selected Indian cities as winners.

Smart City officials said, “The work done by Indore and other cities is highly commendable and the fact that a global platform such as the ‘Real Play City Challenge’ is recognising our efforts is extremely encouraging.”

The ‘Real Play City Challenge’ is led by the Real Play Coalition under UNICEF, National Geographic, Arup, IKEA and the LEGO Foundation. The Challenge aims at creating a movement to narrow the play gap for 100 million children by 2030 by making play accessible and inclusive. The focus of this challenge is to sensitively plan neighbourhoods to make them young children (age 0-5 years) and caregiver-friendly.
