Better Philadelphia Challenge 2016. Designing Healthy Neighborhoods: Mantua/Belmont
Объектом ежегодного конкурса Better Philadelphia Challenge стал район Манчуа/Белмонт, выбранный правительством США в качестве зоны экономического развития. Участникам состязания необходимо предложить архитектурные и дизайн-решения, которые стимулируют местных жителей к ведению здорового и активного образа жизни. Традиционно конкурс проводится для студентов различных специальностей, однако в этом году к участию приглашаются и профессионалы.
The Mantua/Belmont section of Philadelphia was chosen as one of President Obama’s first “Promise Zones” for economic development – one of only five in the country. This neighborhood is bordered by some of Philadelphia’s largest institutions (the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, the Philadelphia Zoo, and Fairmount Park), as well as by large industrial sites (most notably the AMTRAK rail yards). As part of this neighborhood’s development, what physical design interventions could encourage healthy and active lifestyles, thereby improving public health among residents?
Conducted every October, the competition is open to undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students in any field of study; the most successful entries tend to come from teams which include students from a range of majors, including architecture, urban planning, design, landscape architecture, business, political science, and others. New for 2016 - the competition will be open to professionals (design or other), too!
