Urban Revision launch the competition “Re:Store - Green Innovation for a Healthy Urban Economy”. The competition is open to any person(s) including architects, designers, urban planners, engineers, artists, students and anyone interested in sharing their vision and ideas for a sustainable urban community. Think locally. Here’s your chance to envision a mixed-use neighborhood with a healthy, symbiotic relationship between the land, the people and the businesses. Imagine ways to encourage locally owned businesses to replace chain stores. Our intention is to create physical, social and fiscal wealth for the community. The most attractive plans will propose an urban area where buildings are made of sustainable materials and retailers sell different types of products, maybe in new and different ways. Ideally, everyone will benefit from this influx of business: families, the businesses themselves, and the environment. The prize for each of the three finalists is $2,000.
