future african city

The 5Th annual C&CI SuSTaInable DeSIgn CompeTITIon

The 21st century will not be dominated by America or China, Brazil or India, but by the city. In an age that appears increasingly unmanageable, cities rather than states are becoming the islands of governance on which the future world order will be built. - Parag Khanna, How to Run the World November 2010

The world’s population is increasingly moving towards urban environments. This is especially true in Africa. But how can we use design to imagine better African cities and urban systems? The 5th Annual C&CI Sustainable Design Competition is looking for a design intervention using concrete or cementitious products that provides insight and solutions to real world challenges of the theme of FUTURE AFRICAN CITY

Questions to spark your imaginationCan South African cities leapfrog into a more sustainable future as we build? Can we retain elements of village community in the urban sprawl? How can we tackle transport systems – the core sustainability issue? How can we best implement multiple optionsfor recycling, reuse and remanufacturing of materials, along with skilled people for those activities? Is it possible, in a developing nation, to rethink cities as complete ecosystems? How can we create hubs for economic development and increased selfreliance? How can we harness and expand technology systems to build a better future? What will future city buildings look like? How do we save and best utilize public spaces? How do we design smarter compact buildings?
