BACKGROUND

This competition is being organised and managed by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) on behalf of the Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA), as part of the CAA 50th Anniversary and International Summit hosted by the RIBA. The aim of the competition is to highlight the diversity of challenges, opportunities and responses faced by cities throughout the world, from large nation states to small island communities.
