UN-Habitat International Design Collaboration For Kenya, 2016

UN-Habitat in collaboration with Ministry of Land, Housing & Urban Development: Urban Development Department, Kenya, is looking for creative planning and design ideas for sustainable urban development in Kenya. Students from around the world are invited to participate in this design competition for Kenya’s towns. The competition is designed to involve international teams that will be formed by linking students from universities in Kenya with students from external universities (outside Kenya).

The teams are envisaged to be inter-disciplinary. The competition is also intended to further promote international inter-university collaboration as a platform for knowledge exchange and co-production of approaches to livable urban spaces in diverse contexts. The aim of the UN-Habitat International Design Collaboration For Kenya (IDCK) is to create a momentum for greater urban design uptake by demonstrating the value of urban design in implementing ISUDPs in Kenya.
