Overview

The purpose of the competition is to stimulate thinking and discourse about how to increase the resilience of our cities as we move into a century where our cities will be subjected to the combined environmental and economic impacts of Peak Oil and Climate Change.

Description
The overarching theme of the 2010 ResilientCity.org Design Ideas Competition is: “Building Urban Resilience where you live with what you have.” Consistent with this theme, the purpose of this year’s competition is:
1. To raise greater awareness about the combined challenges of Climate Change and Peak Oil in the context of human settlement - and the radical challenges these will pose for how we plan cities and design buildings in the future
2. To provide a public forum, for a conversation about how planning and design professionals should develop more effective and implementable planning and design strategies for increasing the overall resilience of our cities in the face of Climate Change and Peak Oil
3. To give participants the opportunity to explore the concept of urban resilience through project based learning

Because the theme of this year’s competition is “Building Urban Resilience where you live with what you have”, we are requiring that competition participants propose ideas for the city that they are currently a resident of.
