What it is: A co-designed innovation and pilot space for urban resilience, climate adaptation, and sustainable development — focused on secondary cities in developing countries. Includes the Youthverse Lab, a dedicated hub for youth-led urban innovation.
What it does:
- Creates a collaborative platform for governments, communities, academia, and private sector to test and pilot solutions;
- VR and AR to visualize city planning and also to educate about urban resilience;
- Incubates youth-driven projects through the Youthverse Lab, fostering creativity and leadership;
- Provides evidence-based insights for scaling pilots into city-wide strategies;
- Promotes co-creation across regions (Global North ↔ Global South).
Why it fits:
- Embodies our vision of bridging expertise and co-designing solutions.
- Focuses on secondary cities — often overlooked but highly vulnerable.
- Youth engagement aligns with intergenerational strength of SETU Global.
What we want to achieve:
A network of Living Labs across cities in Africa, Asia, and Europe, where solutions are tested, scaled, and replicated, ensuring inclusive, resilient, and youth-powered urban futures.
