Call for Ideas: The Mixing Middle Competition

Creative Design Entries Needed to Change Single-Family Zoning

The Urbanarium invites designers around the world to develop and present innovative solutions that enhance community vitality. Existing monocultural single-family neighbourhoods need to densify with Missing Middle housing, but that on its own isn’t enough. Those neighbourhoods also need a variety of activities to thrive. This competition asks designers to add new mixed-use functionality to skillfully enhance densifying areas, building on lessons learned during the pandemic. Welcome to The Mixing Middle.

Overall Winner $10,000 CAD
Second Prize $5,000 CAD
Third Prize $3,000 CAD
5 Honourable Mentions $1,500 CAD each
Planners' Prize $10,000 CAD

Registration deadline: November 2nd, 2021

Watch the competition primer video below to get inspired! Using the tradition of front-yard business as a departure point, Uytae Lee explores what mixed-uses in residential areas can do for community and begins to build curiosity about new forms and functions for the future.
