Step 1: City Challenge Scoping
The City and C40 will analyse the proposed City challenge to scope and define it for the CSP process. The City project objectives will then be set.
The City Solutions Platform (CSP) supports cities seeking to implement solutions to their climate challenge during the pre-procurement phase, through consultation with the market. CSP drives co-creation activity through its non-commercial platform to generate ideas and solutions which often inform city tenders.

Webinar Activity: Webinar(s) will be held where the City will present their key climate challenge, contextualise the key challenge aspects, and state the criteria for success in any solution that may be provided. This will be presented to a range of interested solution providers.
Workshop Activity: Workshop(s) will be held in the City. The(se) workshop(s) will be the key face-to-face activity for the CSP Innovation Process and will initiate the co-creation of solutions and support the development of these solutions.
Solution Development and Online Collaboration: Stakeholders will be supported to continue collaborating on the solutions. The CSP will provide a neutral space for co-creation dialogue between solution providers and the City.
Route to implementation: Depending on the proposed solutions, a route to implementation of the City’s chosen solution(s) will be designed.
Proposed solutions will be designed and potentially scaled across the C40 City Network and beyond.
