To all Students of Architecture or Urban Studies,

In relation to 51st IFHP world congress Futures of Cities , Copenhagen 23 to 26 September 2007, the Danish foundation Realdania asked the Scandinavian think tank Monday Morning to create the Copenhagen Agenda for Sustainable Cities initiative. Monday Morning then asked 50 of the worlds most important urban experts to tell us what it will take to create sustainable cities. These statements and observations have been distilled into 10 principles for future sustainable governance, all with the aim of strengthening the development of sustainable cities. Find Copenhagen Agenda initiative attached at the bottom of the page. 

We want to illustrate these 10 principles by students own illustrations . The illustrations are going to be published as a part of an international publication about the Futures of Cities. The 10 best illustrations will each receive an honorarium of: 1.000 Euro (7.500 DKK)

ESSENTIALS
