By 31 MAY submit your visual project - change our vision of cities!

FUTURE CITIES - PLANNING FOR THE 90 PER CENT is an open call for visual projects in any media capable of transforming our urban spaces. Artists, photographers, architects and designers are invited to reflect on issues facing people in private and public spaces around the world, such as housing, transport, environment, leisure, overcrowding, proposing low cost, low tech solutions to improve conditions and understanding.

In forty years time, seven out of the world’s nine billion inhabitants will be living in cities. Almost half will be living in non-formal accommodation. The need to improve the metabolism of the metropolis by designing for conditions and environments which have always been considered emergency situations is now urgent and necessary.

PLANNING FOR THE 90 PER CENT is an invitation to take a harder look at the real city wherever you happen to be, making time to think about the very important improvements that can be made by creative and thoughtful solutions to everyday problems.

Ten projects will be selected for exhibition Magazzini del Sale - Punta della Dogana, Venice, 27 August to 1 September 2012, during the upcoming XIII Architecture Biennial, by: Anna Detheridge, president of Connecting Cultures, research agency, Milan. Joseph Grima, architect, editor of Domus Magazine. Richard Ingersoll, professor of Architecture at Syracuse University, Florence. Fulvio Irace, architect, professor of History of Modern Architecture, Milan. Mary Jane Jacob, artistic director of Public Programmes and director of Exhibition studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
