The City as a Network: Reimagining Urban Infrastructure , Paris / Frankreich

 

In 2025, InfraVision is organizing a competition inspired by the theme ‘The City as Network: Reimagining Urban Infrastructure.’ Creative minds from various backgrounds – e.g. students of architecture, urban planning, engineering, complex systems, economics, public policy, computer science, etc.  – will be invited to team up and join the contest.

 

Participants will showcase their ideas to enhance a large infrastructure project over the next 30 years in a selection of cities with concrete proposals for design, planning, stakeholder engagement, technology and decarbonization, aiming to transform urban networks (transport, energy, telecommunication, waste and water management, etc.).

 

Students will have the opportunity to tackle complex problems by applying their knowledge, skills, and imagination. They will receive valuable feedback from a jury of experts, led by architect Sadie Morgan (co-founder of drMM), and will include other recognized public figures, soon to be announced, helping the students raise their profile and establish industry contacts.

 

The competition will offer prize money of 10,000 euros for the 1st-placed team, 7,000 euros for the 2nd-placed team, and 3,000 euros for the 3rd-placed team.

 

Entry deadline: July 30, 2025
