💻 Challenges:
The challenges teams will tackle in the Citython 2021 Lublin are:
- Challenge 1: Green Connection -Green Connection is a concept of combining Lublin's green areas into a coherent recreational and natural system. Lublin has significant potential thanks to the unique terrain - river valleys, dry valleys and ravines permeating the urban buildings, parks, squares and the greenery of the estate. We have an opportunity to provide a more fulfilling urban experience and to design for health, equity, and accessibility. The answer to this demand may be the connection of green areas in Lublin into the Green Connection.
- Challenge 2: Green Ring Road in the City - To delineate and design a bicycle bypass of the city connected to the existing pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and consistent with the urban greenery. A key element is to plan a bypass that is compatible with the idea of green corridors and to approach the city as an ecosystem.
- Challenge 3: From Door to Door - Transport interchange points (multimodal transport hub) has a direct impact on the development of a sustainable transport network and meeting the needs of residents with a more comfortable way of travel and reducing the time "from door to door".
Don't forget to indicate, in the registration process, which one you and your team will work on during the Citython 2021 Lublin.
