The Sudbury 2050 ? Urban Design Competition has announced the finalists from the Student category, and OPEN/professional category.
Led by the McEwen School of Architecture (MSoA) in collaboration with the community, the competition challenged entrants to create a new vision for the urban core of the City of Greater Sudbury.
Possible programs included a new library, art gallery, conference centre, and performance centre, new housing typologies for a range of incomes, reimagining the space occupied by the railway lines, and a new arena and event centre. Entrants were expected to address the placement and urban design issues related to one or more of these programs as part of their integrated vision for the city in 2050.
The competition includes $63,000 in prizes, with awards for the best professional entry, best student entry, and a People?s Choice award. Here are the finalists by individuals, teams, firms/studios  from the OPEN category:
