By 2050, three out of four people in the world will live in cities, as millions continue to stream into urban areas in search of fresh opportunities. In support of these dynamic new urban areas, Ashoka Changemakers, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Department of State, and the American Planning Association, and in support of U.S. President Barack Obama’s Energy Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA), launched the Sustainable Urban Housing Competition. This competition inspired innovation that addresses the lack of adequate and inclusive housing, and pioneers energy-efficient and sustainable models for housing design, land use, creative housing finance, and public policy.
Three diverse entries emerged as winners of the competition through the global public voting stage: in Argentina, "Developing Real Estate for Squatters and Tenants of the City of Buenos Aires" renovates dilapidated buildings for squatter families to rent at a rate that enables them to save money and ultimately step out of the poverty housing cycle; in Brazil, "Zero Waste, Sustainable Architecture, Renewable Energy: Unlimited Source of Renewable Materials for Sustainable Housing" developed an innovative system to transform waste into manufactured materials for housing; and the third winning entry, from the U.S., "The Green Development Zone" concentrates investments in green affordable housing, geo-thermal and solar energy, green jobs training, and urban agriculture. These three innovative solutions, in addition to the many other qualified finalists, lift up ideas to provide sustainable, energy efficient urban development.
