Students Reinventing Cities
Students Reinventing Cities now is over!
C40 Cities, a global network of cities committed to bold climate action, recently has launched 'Students Reinventing Cities', a global competition for students to share their vision for green & thriving city neighbourhoods.
Short description
Reinventing Cities is a competition initiated by the C40 to stimulate ambitious carbon-neutral developments across the globe and to implement the best ideas to transform underutilized sites into beacons of sustainability and resilience and act as a showcase for future zero-carbon urban developments.
'Students Reinventing Cities' provides a unique opportunity for academics and students to collaborate with global cities. Together they will imagine a more sustainable and inclusive vision for cities everywhere, by rethinking how neighborhoods are planned and designed.
This competiton is dedicated to transforming cities in the face of the climate crisis by driving an active collaboration between cities and academia on climate action. The competition will inspire creative, innovative, and tangible ways to reduce carbon emissions, as well as to support a thriving and resilient life for local communities.
Students entering the competition will be given live projects to work on in cities including: Athens, Auckland, Barcelona, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Dakar, Delhi, Dubai, Madrid, Melbourne, Montréal, Paris, Quezon City, Quito, Reykjavík, Seattle and Washington D.C. They will submit their entries designed specifically for the urban area in their chosen city - to help change the way we live in cities for the benefit of our wellbeing and of the climate.
The competition will include two stages: the first will be the expression of interest phase, and the second, the proposal phase.
Winning projects will be announced on July 2021.
Who may enter?
This competition is open to all academics and students worldwide.
