all competitions

Close the Gap, an international design competition sponsored by Transportation Alternatives and d3, invites architects, landscape architects, urban designers, engineers, and students worldwide to broaden the dialogue of alternative solutions for sustainable urban living.

The competition focuses on the Midtown sector of New York City’s East River Greenway--a critical missing link in Manhattan’s alternative transportation infrastructure. How can the East Side Greenway’s missing link be creatively retrofitted, reoccupied, and re-greened? How would a fully-integrated continuous greenway system make New York City more environmentally sensitive, economically productive, and socially engaged? Can the innovative use of materials, technologies, and spatial organizations enhance our quality of urban life?

Awards: US $5,000 Total
