Description

The Schindler Global Award (SGA) is a student urban design competition with a focus on mobility. It is an ideas competition, intended to engage students in formulating a response to complex conditions in cities across the globe. Students can participate individually or in teams, and each entry must have a faculty supervisor.

The Schindler Global Award (SGA) will focus on the impact and implications of current and future mobility systems on urban development in one of the most globally significant cities – Mumbai.

The Schindler Global Award (SGA) ideas competition asks students to put their skills to the test and participate in the making of livable and sustainable urban environments – with mobility in mind. Mobility systems move people, goods and ideas over road and rail, sea and air, and through neighborhoods, regions and the world. Mobility is a catalyst and a conduit for globalization and urbanization – and for the creation of better lives and neighborhoods.
