GOLD VII fosters a participatory methodology that involves direct engagement with local and regional governments, civil society organizations and experts from around the world. As such, GOLD VII is not only about producing a collective output but also about facilitating rich, multi-stakeholder dialogues.

The GOLD VII is themed “Care” and aims to explore best practices in building care systems and enhancing urban equity and sustainability. Guangzhou Award was invited to plan and author a key chapter of the report, conducting an in-depth analysis of successful cases related to “Care” from the 6th cycle of the Guangzhou Award and distilling insights that can serve as references for cities worldwide.

As of now, more than 50 videos, articles and reports featuring case studies, reflections, commitments and recommendations are accessible in the dynamic GOLD VII Multimedia Journal. They emphasize the multidimensional nature of care and its connection to a number of local governance dimensions such as urban planning, public services, crisis response, social and cultural policies, safety, participatory democracy, resilience, time-use policies, feminist perspectives, and universal health coverage.
