Vitalizing the Core of the Garden City of the Twenty-first Century
Groot IJsselmonde is the perfect example of a post-war Garden City. The challenge is to transform the site from being segregated to a lively neighborhood by introducing a new mix of functions and more housing. The aim is to attract and retain residents, in particular young generations. Submitters must come up with an urban development strategy in which the resurgence of the central area is key to setting this transformation in to motion. An architectural elaboration can provide a powerful impulse to the desired urban dynamic in Groot IJsselmonde.
