The Dencity Competition is a call for ideas for improving slum conditions worldwide over the coming decades.
Иногда процесс урбанизаци протекает так стремительно и плотность населения растет так быстро, что города просто не способны вовремя подстроиться под изменяющуюся реальность – в результате, возникают неблагоустроенные районы и трущобы.
Цель конкурса заключается в том, чтобы поощрять новые идеи, способные помочь предотвратить незапланированный рост городов, а также помочь в распространении информации об этой насущной проблеме. Ограничений в масштабе объекта, месте проектирования или функциональной программе нет.
Rapid world growth and urbanization is not allowing cities to adapt and provide for their inhabitants. Towns are quickly growing into cities, and some of the densest places in the world are comprised of makeshift homes, otherwise referred to as slums. Furthermore, already overcrowded cities have to absorb people leaving their rural hometown in hope of job opportunities. There are currently over 1 billion slum dwellers in the world. This number is expected to reach 2 billion by the year 2030. Now, more than ever, we need to play a central role in the development of substandard neighborhoods. Slums effect much more than just housing; they affect almost all living conditions and communities as a whole.
The intent of this competition is twofold: to foster new ideas on how to better handle the growing density of unplanned cities and to spread awareness of this massive problem. Contestants should consider how design can empower communities and allow for a self sufficient future.
There are no restrictions in regards to site, program, or size. Projects can be based on a specific location or a general concept. The object is to limit constraints and give participants the freedom to think in the most creative way possible. Submissions do not need to be created exclusively for this competition, but should not have been submitted elsewhere.
