This competition is a great opportunity for those who want to investigate different
approached for sustainable urban design. We recommend participation.
Two different competitions is presented.
Greenfield Prize
The Greenfield Prize is calling on innovators (including students, university
teams and startups) from around the world to come up with a plan for an entirely
new neighbourhood. This Prize is based on an imaginary, empty area, 100 hectares
in size, where there are no existing systems and an urban utopia can be created
from scratch.
Take this empty plot of land and build on it your dream, a green city where the
energy is clean, the transport efficient and people can live in a sustainable
and beautiful place. We are looking for creative, state of the art, groundbreaking
and stunning ideas!
The finals will be held 10th-12th September 2012 in Regina at the National Infrastructure
Summit.
The finalists will pitch their vision before an independent jury of experts and
industry people.
The winner will receive a $10,000 cash prize. We encourage interdisciplinary
teams, although it is not a formal entry condition.
2040 Prize
The 2040 Prize gives you the chance to unleash your imagination and transform
an existing neighbourhood into a community that offers the best of green technology
and planning.
One of the biggest obstacles to truly innovative transformation in existing neighbourhoods
is the interconnectedness of water, waste, transport and power systems. (It's
difficult to design the public transit system when the streets were built decades
ago.) To overcome these limitations, the 2040 Prize permits and strongly encourages
entrants to rethink all systems – no restrictions.
We invite all innovators to partake in this challenge and make a mark on the
future of Regina.
The finals will be held 10th-12th September 2012 in Regina at the National Infrastructure
Summit. The finalists will pitch their vision before a gathering of public sector
decision makers and an independent jury of experts and industry people.
The winner will be awarded a contract worth $50,000, the details of which will
to be negotiated post-competition.
