At the Design the Sustainable Future Competition, which encourages future architects and engineers to think about and develop projects on the concept of ‘sustainability’, the participants are expected to come up with projects for mixed-use urban structures with a primary focus on social life, allowing for an efficient use of urban land and natural resources.
