The most cancer-ready city on earth. In this city, there is no fear or bad news. This city doesn’t yet exist, but it soon will.
There are 18.1 million new cancer cases and more than 9.6 million cancer deaths worldwide each year, and these numbers are increasing drastically. With 54% of the world’s population living in cities, we believe cities are uniquely positioned to drive sustainable innovation in the delivery of cancer care—and health services in general—to large populations.
A city where we all have access to quality cancer care. Where you live, your gender, social or economic status make no difference to your quality of health care.

‘Dreamers’ are individuals, groups, organisations, or institutions that share C/Can’s commitment to improving access to quality cancer care, and are supporting their city on the journey to become a City of Tomorrow.
C/Can is currently operating in 9 cities across Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe. These 9 ‘doer’ cities are planning and implementing sustainable cancer care solutions that respond to local needs.
Any city with a population over 1 million is eligible to apply to join City Cancer Challenge. For more information about selection criteria please consult the C/Can checklist.
Cities will be invited to follow a three-stage application process beginning with an Expression of Interest form. Shortlisted cities will be invited to submit a full application, and will be subject to a transparent due diligence process.
You can apply to become a City of Tomorrow from the 15 of October 2020. Join our movement and mobilise your city. Dreamer cities start with your commitment.
