Urban Regeneration Design Competition / Reimagining Port Said’s Historic Core: Preserve, Connect, Transform

Description:

The “Urban Regeneration: Reimagining Port Said’s Historic Core” competition, under the KassMENA SFCH project (Jan 2025–Dec 2026), invites undergraduate students and recent graduates in architecture, urban planning, landscape planning and architecture, engineering or arts to develop bold, inclusive regeneration proposals for Port Said’s layered historic fabric. Under the theme “Preserve, Connect, Transform,” participants must balance heritage protection, new spatial linkages, and visionary transformations—integrating VR/AI tools, climate resilience strategies, and social equity measures. Proposals unfold in two stages: a concept submission (one A2 panel + 1,000-word statement) and a final submission (two A0 panels), judged by an international jury. Prizes range from EGP 30,000 to EGP 10,000, plus workshop participation and exhibition opportunities.
