CALI FOR ENTRIES: INTEGRATING REFUGEE POPULATIONS

WITHIN CITIES – PLACE AND DISPLACEMENT 2018
IDeA’s 2nd annual Place and Displacement 2018 Competition –
“Integrating Refugee Populations within Cities’ is now open! Register
online at through February 1,2018
Refugee livelihoods have become a crucial topic (n contemporary
geopolitical relations. One fundamental challenge within the current relief
assistance model for refugee populations is the separation be tween
inhabitants and local communities. IDeA in vites innovative minds around
the world to propose spatial design and programmatic solutions that provide
opportunities for refugees and local communities to strengthen ties while
enabling self-agency. This creative re-knitting of the city can rely on a
shared organization and management of activities within co-constructed
platforms that involve both refugees and the local community.
Solutions should focus on addressing the economic and social vulnerabilities
that refugees face in urban environments and provide creative ways that
expand access, participation, and interaction between refugees and their
local communities.
