The top 50% of proposals that have received the most support move on to the final phase and will be evaluated by a jury.  

Given the exceptional mobilization of some cities in search of support for their proposals, the technical secretariat has decided that 50% of the most voted nominations (the 26 with the most support) qualify for the final phase. This ensures a greater diversity of proposals that will be evaluated by an international jury of experts which will be constituted shortly. In addition, the jury may select 4 of the discarded proposals to be evaluated together with the rest of the proposals qualified for the final phase.
