The competition call asked, ?How might matters of equity and activism, ecology and environment, and health and wellness converge, and unfold, within our future cities"
?The climate crisis and social inequality have converged against the backdrop of a pandemic, prompting us to rethink the way cities are being designed, built and operated. It is an opportunity for architects, planners, landscape architects, and other creative practitioners and students to imagine how we can make our futures better for everyone. The ideas generated from this competition offer a glimpse into how a city for all might look, how it might operate, and how it might come into being,? As John L. Brown, SAPL Dean.
