Challenge 1
Rethinking Rákos Creek: Transforming Urban Spaces into Vibrant, Nature-Based Community Hubs
How can we turn Rákos Creek into a thriving, nature-rich community space? This challenge focuses on balancing ecological restoration and urban needs through placemaking. Participants will develop innovative solutions to:
- Restore biodiversity and ecosystem health.
- Create inclusive community spaces that cater to all ages and needs.
- Promote outdoor engagement and inspire healthier lifestyles.
- Enhance climate resilience with green infrastructure.
Your ideas could help transform Rákos Creek into a model of sustainable urban design that supports both people and nature.
Challenge 2
Rethinking Urban Mobility Around Rákos Creek
How can we transform mobility in the Rákos Creek area to prioritise sustainability and inclusivity? This challenge focuses on creating greener, smarter transport systems that serve the community while reducing car dependency. Participants will tackle key questions such as:
- How can walking, cycling, and car-sharing become the norm?
- What infrastructure is needed to ensure mobility options are safe, inclusive, and accessible to all?
- How can sustainable mobility be integrated into public spaces to balance recreation, biodiversity, and community needs?
- What innovative strategies can inspire behaviour change and build a culture of sustainability?
This is your chance to re-imagine how mobility can shape a more connected, sustainable, and community-focused urban environment.
