Shelter is pleased to invite people from all over the world to take part in the first annual Dencity Competition, a call for ideas for improving slum conditions worldwide over the coming decades. Rapid world growth is not allowing cities to adapt and provide for their inhabitants. Towns are quickly growing into cities, and some of the densest places in the world are comprised of makeshift homes, otherwise referred to as slums. Now, more than ever, we need to play a central role in the development of substandard neighborhoods. Architects, students, engineers, designers, thinkers, NGOs and organizations are all invited to participate in this competition. No professional qualifications are necessary. Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged to join.
