F.A.Q. Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to follow any city regulations?
Since the competition is an “ideas” contest, the proposal does not necessarily need to follow any specific city rules.
Do I have to intervene on the whole Ricardo Riva's boulevard, or it has to be just the area marked with a dashed line in the .pdf design guidelines?
The strategy has to be applied all along the Ricardo Riva boulevard and according to the Panels Guidelines, you have to show it in your masterplan within the first panel. The white dashed rectangle that appears in all the pages of the Design guidelines corresponds to the area that you have to show more in detail within the second panel.
Where can I find my “Registration Code”?
The “Registration Code” (ex. 12345) will be available after complete your registration. In addition will be sent also at your email address.
Who can participate in the competition?
