Planet Forward asked student storytellers to answer the question: What innovation do you think will help cities develop sustainably? Their answers are our Storyfest 2016 submissions.
Our panelists — Christian Amolsch with Gensler, David Enders, an international journalist, and Dr. Imani M. Cheers, a George Washington University assistant professor of media and public affairs — reviewed some of the finalists and, finally, our winners were revealed!
