This competition is to create pedestrian-friendly urban milieus that enable citizens to walk or stroll happily at least for about 15 minutes within their local areas ― the average time taken for a human being to walk 1 km ― and suggest spaces where residents can communicate with one another.

Urban spaces can be classified into functionally purposive (commercial, governmental, and school) and non-purposive (typically, park) spaces: when the latter become profuse, urban life would be more leisurely with increased quality.

That is to say, the goal of this competition is to present an urban structure that enables various kinds of experiences, rest, communications with neighbours even without any clear purpose (such as commuting, working, going to school, or purchasing goods), as well as securing additional urban spaces.
