The Municipality of León, through the León Municipal Housing Institute (IMUVI) and the León Municipal Planning Institute (IMPLAN), invites students, faculty, and professionals to participate in the Second National Ideas Competition: Intra-urban Housing and Park Solution. The goal is to develop a conceptual design proposal for a high-density social housing complex and a neighborhood public park within a consolidated urban area in the city of León.
Driven by the vision of redirecting how we plan and manage cities, we invite you to participate in this rethinking process by submitting conceptual proposals for intra-urban social housing. These proposals should integrate public and green spaces, utilizing best practices in architectural design, innovation, and sustainability to ensure healthy neighborhood coexistence, equal access and opportunity, freedom from discrimination, and safe, affordable, and accessible housing for lower-income groups in society.
The specific objectives of the competition include the following:
• To impact intra-urban social housing, as well as the integration of public and green spaces, maximizing land use through feasible proposals.
• To address the issue of vacant spaces within the city by integrating the urban context, functionality, and the enhancement of the proposed program.
The registration period for the competition opens on Wednesday, July 24, and closes on September 27. The deadline for proposal submissions is September 30. The winning proposal may be developed by IMUVI and will receive a prize of $60,000 pesos.
