Ideas for the future design and configuration of cities are being sought for a new competition promoting greater sustainability in urban environments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dust to Dust: Redesigning Urban Life in Healthy Soils<\/em><\/a> is an urban design ideas competition<\/strong> in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> which include zero hunger, clean water and sanitation, responsible consumption and production, and climate action.<\/p>\n

Currently 98% of cultivable land on earth is being farmed and two thirds of the world\u2019s soils are suffering degradation<\/strong>. The continued encroachment onto, and transformation of, soils resulting from urban sprawl will significantly impact<\/strong> the sustainability and resilience of urban life.<\/p>\n

As such, ideas are invited for urban designs, planning approaches, and tangible interventions that could be implemented in real-life cases<\/strong> of urban planning and development with successful designs promoting a close relationship between urban life and soil ecosystem services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From the ideas received the best will be invited to a charrette (an intensive design workshop) held at the Prince\u2019s Foundation, London<\/strong> on 16-18 July 2018. Selected teams will be invited to work with the researchers who are organising the competition and the curating team.<\/p>\n

The aim is to exhibit the best ideas at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia to inform and inspire greater sustainability<\/strong> in the future development of cities as well as how we lead urban lives.<\/p>\n

Organiser Dr Benjamin Vis<\/a>, who is an expert in urban geography in the Classical & Archaeological Studies <\/a>department in the School of European Culture and Languages<\/a> (SECL), said they look forward to receiving ideas \u2018outside the box<\/strong>\u2019.<\/p>\n

The competition arises from Dr Vis\u2019s work on ancient Maya urban landscapes as a Research Fellow in Digital Humanities and Digital Heritage for the Eastern Academic Research Consortium (Eastern ARC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To compete for a place, teams should apply by developing and submitting outline ideas<\/strong> by 23:59 GMT on Wednesday 9th May 2018.<\/p>\n

For more information about the competition, and to submit outline ideas, please visit the Dust to Dust<\/em> website: http:\/\/www.dusttodustcompetition.org<\/a> or for more information, contact dusttodustcompetition@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n
