Charette launches 15-Minute City 2023, the third edition of its urban design competition.

The 15 Minute City is an approach to city planning where all essential destinations, such as schools, shops, offices, entertainment venues, and healthcare facilities, can be reached within a 15-minute walk, cycle, or public transit ride.

This year’s competition encourages designers and planners to reimagine urban landscapes as cleaner, safer, healthier, and more inclusive places to live.

For this competition, entrants will design a module for a 15 Minute City that can be replicated to create a larger city. You can choose to design a fictional city or re-design part of an existing city anywhere in the world. Your design should be replicable and scalable, with a focus on creating neighborhoods that are sustainable and inclusive.

You are also free to recommend rules and policies that can help make the lives of your city’s occupants better. So, get creative, think outside the box, and help to create the future of urban living!

Submissions should include a total of 4 sheets of size 30cm x 30cm attached as a combined PDF document. 15-Minute City 2023 is open to all. Entrants may develop design proposals individually or in teams of a maximum of 4 participants.
