We launched this competition series in 2017 to provide more design-focused responses to the issues that affect our cities. We started with an in-house charrette that asked architects from Make and the FSF to design masterplans for a city block based on themes like ‘power’ and ‘play’. From here, we held two competitions challenging architecture students from five UK universities to envision the vital city in the near future, with a focus on density, health and wellbeing, connectivity, and sustainability.
