[b]Designing Resilience: The Sea-City Interface[/b]

Cities around the world are growing at an unprecedented rate, putting more and more pressure on the natural environment, which is unable to cope with the ever-increasing demand for resources. Urbanisation and its effects are transforming regions, cities, populations and landscapes into dense and complex environments where resilience and regeneration must be considered in order for them to function in the long term, including all the challenges that come with it.
The focus of the design, which is also an international student competition, is the Asian metropolis of Singapore. The design area is located on the southern coast of the city state near the harbour. The competition is looking for ideas for sustainable urban planning that project the focus 20 years into the future and pursue a CO2-negative approach instead of a CO2-neutral approach. Topics such as transport, food security & climate change should be considered as well as inclusive gender-responsive urban development.
