Since its founding six years ago, Guardian Cities has grown from a small experiment into a huge community. We started Guardian Cities because we saw that everywhere on Earth, people were flooding into cities. Our Guardian Concrete Week series on the evils of cement won the Foreign Press Association Award for Environment and Science. We earned several other awards for our cycling and mobility coverage and the illustrated city series. A special shout-out must go to the Guardian’s unparalleled Foundations team, led by powerhouse Rachel White; her predecessor Ben Hicks, who masterminded the deal that created Guardian Cities; and Eleanor Clark, an absolute rock for us here in London.
