Of the 7.8 billion people on the planet, more than 70 million are now refugees and asylum seekers. With few countries willing to receive these displaced people, many refugees are restrained in tents, or makeshift cities. These temporary solutions often become permanent, which come with significant challenges. City of Refugees – a three-year research by the University of Houston College of Architecture + Design under the direction of the studio professors, Peter Jay Zweig and Gail Peter Borden – offers a provocative approach to the discussion of new solutions: Four imaginary cities on four continents were designed as prototypes for the accommodation of migrants providing facilities to meet their immediate needs and long-term opportunities for their self-empowerment. The projects not only give insights into the diverse aspects of these utopias, but also chronicles the plight and journeys of refugees in contemporary society.

The italian cities of Bitonto and San Donà Venezia are looking for ideas to implement a strategic urban revitalization project and intend to start a process of implementation with the awarded teams.
