| Theme |
In the wake of globalization and liberalization of world economic order, the human settlements are undergoing a rapid transformation. While the urban growth continues guided by policies and programmes of urban development, the city expands along the transportation arteries and suburban sprawl occurs.
The theme of the ninth IAHH International Student Design Competition focuses on the issue of promoting compact walkable communities around transportation interchange and a hub serviced by public transportation systems such as railways, metro, bus-ways, water-ways etc. It is the purpose of the ninth IAHH International Student Design Competition to investigate into this issue of rapid urbanization and resultant suburban sprawl in order to evolve a more enlightened approach to planning, design and management of humane habitats. |
|
| Site Selection and Analysis |
| The student competitors are required to identify such a suburban area in a city / town / metropolis in their own country or in any other country anywhere in the world. The student participants shall survey and study the station area around the hub in depth to understand the complexity of human, social, economic and infrastructure development issues involved and plan and design for its sustainable area development. |
