Plural City Ideas Challenge
Современная экономическая ситуация вынуждает жителей центральных районов крупных городов переселяться на окраины, где зачастую нет необходимой инфраструктуры для жизни. Участникам конкурса необходимо предложить идеи по созданию условий, которые позволят остановить такое перемещение. Город должен стать комфортным, удобным и доступным для всех жителей, независимо от их социального положения и национальности.

Urban economic displacement impacts low-income and minority groups at a disproportionate rate. For example, in Portland, it is estimated that between 1991 and 2010, 8,356 Black Portland residents were displaced from central city neighborhoods to the east and north, pushed to the margins of the city where public resources are scarce (Source). A recent study conducted by the Urban Displacement Project in Berkeley reveals that in the Bay Area, more than 53% of the low-income households live in neighborhoods jeopardized by urban displacement. The research indicates that this trend will continue to grow (Source). At the city scale, the consequences of displacement surface in a fragmented urban fabric.
The typical response to this situation focuses on low-income and affordable housing initiatives. While these strategies are undeniably critical, what are the other opportunities to create vital and improved resources to counteract the driving forces behind economic displacement?
The Plural City Ideas Challenge is not only about the immediate design solutions to pressing and mounting housing problems in urban centers, but also the design of sustainable, culturally-supportive resource interventions. While there is an immediate need for affordable housing, The Plural City Ideas Challenge is about designing for the city as a series of multi-cultural, multi-plural urban neighborhoods where socio-economic diversity is a fundamental asset to be preserved.
