Graduate Student Urban Design Competition Opens for Team Sign Ups
The Urban Land Institute (ULI) has announced the call for applications in the 14th Annual ULI Hines Student Competition. The ideas competition allows multidisciplinary graduate student teams the opportunity to devise an urban development vision and compete to win $50,000.
The competition is designed to simulate an actual urban planning and development scenario where intensive collaboration across disciplines and sectors is required to complete a major real estate development. Since its first year in 2003, nearly 7,000 graduate students have participated in the ULI Hines Student Competition.
In the ULI Hines Student Competition, students will have the chance to form a multidisciplinary team with four other graduate students in the United States or Canada and tackle a real land use challenge in a U.S. city. From the time of the study site announcement, teams of five students representing at least three disciplines have two weeks to develop solutions that include drawings, site plans, tables, and market-feasible financial data.
