DESIGN THE NEW AUSTRALIAN DREAM

The Australian Urban Design Research Centre has launched an ideas competition looking for a future Australian city “that embodies a new Australian Dream for the twenty-first century.” The Business as (Un)usual competition is open to students and recent graduates and offers a prize pool of $10,000. “This competition asks you to weave a new dream for Australian cities and express it in a proposal for a future Australian city of 50,000 people or more located in a regional area,” the brief says. Each proposal should comprise an “overall vision” and a design for a one-square-kilometre precinct. Entries close 1 July 2022.
