Urbanarium issues bi-annual open invitations to designers around the world to develop and present innovative solutions that enhance community vitality. These long-form events are rare opportunities for young architects, planners, designers and residents to solve issues at the local level while participating in international competition.

Competition sites are chosen in municipalities in the Lower Mainland of BC. Winners are decided by a panel of architects, planners and other city builders, in addition to a Planners’ Prize, decided by a panel of urban planners.

Winning ideas are published in print and video form in order to disseminate the insights and policy recommendations gathered from the various entries.
