Sea ice in the Arctic region is crucial for maintaining the global climate due to its reflectivity.

The Municipality of Quito, through the Metropolitan Institute of Urban Planning (IMPU) and the Pichincha Architects Association (CAE-P), invites architects, urban planners, and other professionals to participate in a competition aimed at the urban renewal of the railway corridor in southern Quito.

This competition seeks to reimagine the corridor, which currently only serves the tourist train, and whose spatial, environmental, economic, and social potential remains untapped. Consequently, the competition encourages the development of proposals that integrate and acknowledge this historic infrastructure within the city, highlighting its potential as an inclusive and connective public space. The goal is to create gathering spaces and incorporate facilities, retail, and services that enhance the current use and character of each sector. Participants may even rethink the role of this corridor for various urban functions, regardless of whether the train remains in operation. The corridor spans approximately 13 kilometers and traverses areas with a significant diversity of dynamics, land uses, and levels of urban consolidation.
