Urban SOS: All Systems Go - AECOM’s global student competition
В этом году в центре внимания конкурса Urban SOS – системы снабжения современных городов продуктами питания, водой и энергией. Конкурсантам предлагается поразмышлять о том, как усовершенствовать эти системы, избежать сбоев в их работе, а также сделать их доступными для разных слоев населения. Предложения необходимо разработать для любого из 67 городов, вошедших в список 100 Resilient Cities.
We are calling on multidisciplinary teams of students to envision more resilient food, water, and energy systems for supplying cities and regions today and in the future.
Across the world, this critical infrastructure is increasingly at risk due to extreme weather, the impacts of climate change, and social and economic strife. In New York City, for example, if storms or a labor dispute were to disable the food distribution hub at Hunts Point for any significant length of time, 22 million people throughout the region would be left with less than three days’ worth of food. Despite the importance and vulnerability of these systems, they are rarely prioritized as part of a city’s overall resilience, in part because they are largely invisible: Too often we don’t pay attention to our pipelines, power rids, and food supply chains until they fail.
Urban SOS: All Systems Go challenges student teams to identify an urban population facing the possibility of disruption to its food, energy, or water systems, and offer strategies that strengthen these systems’ ability to withstand future shocks or stresses, while also making them more efficient, equitable, and accessible to diverse populations. Proposals must be located in one of 67 cities that currently make up the 100 Resilient Cities network.
