開催概要

アメリカが重要課題として掲げている都市の交通網整備について、ロサンゼルスを舞台に具体的なアイディアを競うコンペ。公共空間や環境との相互作用などにも踏み込む、学際的アプローチが期待されている。賞金は未定。

Description
The passage in November 2008 of Measure R, a half cent sales tax in Los Angeles County, will provide as much as $40 billion for local transit-related projects over the next 30 years. Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has pledged to make the largest investment since the 1950s in the country’s crumbling infrastructure.
But in addition to extensive new funding, there must also be a more innovative and integrated vision for these plans: this means a radical rethinking of the relationships between transit systems, public space and development of the city as whole. It’s time to use technological innovations and design skill to create transport that increases efficiency, safety, and comfort, while preserving and enhancing the public realm, meeting green building goals and dramatically improving our cities and our neighborhoods.
- Expand and improve the field of ideas for transportation design and transit-driven urban redevelopment projects within Los Angeles County.
- To broaden our thinking and discussions about the relationships between transit systems, public space and the built environment.
