The 7th IAHH International Student Design Competition shall focus on the issue of development and revitalization of areas around transit hubs. As the price of petroleum products continue to rise, the importance of public transportation systems becomes more critical for the very survival of urban centers and urban agglomerations.
It is the purpose of the competition to identify areas around transit hubs in towns and cities, survey and study these areas, identify the issues and problems in revitalization, conservation and redevelopment of such areas through appropriate, creative and innovative planning and design for development of sustainable humane habitats.
