The Sudbury 2050 — Urban Design Competition has announced the finalists for its ideas competition.
Led by the McEwen School of Architecture (MSoA) in collaboration with the community, the competition challenged entrants to create a new vision for the urban core of the City of Greater Sudbury.
The entrants were invited to select one or more programs, including a new library, art gallery, conference centre, and performance centre, new housing typologies for a range of incomes, reimagining the space occupied by the railway lines, and a new arena and event centre. They were asked to address the placement and urban design issues related to their chosen program(s) as part of their integrated vision for the city in 2050.
The competition includes $63,000 in prizes, with awards for the best professional entry, best student entry, and a People’s Choice award.
Finalist presentations of the student entries take place on Monday, November 23 from 5-7 pm, in an online forum moderated by CityLab director Lisa Rochon. Finalist presentations of the professional entries take place on Tuesday, November 24 from 5-8 pm, in an online forum moderated by The Agenda host and Laurentian University Chancellor Steve Paikin.
