Street Design Challenge 2024

The 2024 theme for the Street Design Challenge invites student groups from architecture, urbanism, and design disciplines in UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) to reimagine streets as vibrant marketplaces that not only serve as hubs for selling locally produced, crafted, and designed items but also as platforms for addressing social issues within the community. By modernizing existing markets or creating new ones in underdeveloped areas, participants will explore innovative design solutions for vendor tents, store furniture, visitor flow, and the overall sales experience. The goal is to reinforce or cultivate a sense of community culture and belonging, leveraging the creative economy to transform streets into inclusive, dynamic spaces that foster local entrepreneurship and social cohesion.
