The Street Design Challenge, which kicked off on October 29, 2023, addressed the growing concern over urban heat islands and their impact on city dwellers. This edition's theme, "Tactical Urbanism to Reduce Heat Islands in Cities," aims to inspire innovative solutions that mitigate the heat island effect, making cities more resilient to climate change while improving the overall quality of life for residents.
During the challenge, interdisciplinary groups of university students, mentored by their professors, collaborated to develop a proposal to mitigate heat islands on a street in a foreign city. Participating teams considered a variety of factors, including local climate, geography, socioeconomic context and cultural background, to create a comprehensive and effective tactical urbanism intervention.
In the 2023 edition, the focus is on using the concept of tactical urbanism to propose the implementation of adaptive, low-cost measures that can contribute to long-term strategies to reduce heat islands. These measures may include green infrastructure, reflective surfaces, shade structures and other innovative solutions that improve the urban environment while addressing the heat island effect.
Each team was paired with a street in another participating city and received an in-depth briefing from a local expert. This meeting outlined the current situation, challenges and priorities to be addressed by the proposal. Once the challenge began, the teams had 48 hours to submit their projects.
