THE COMPETITION:

The Municipality of Ferizaj/Urosevac announces a Spatial Design Competition for a Mobility Centre Project. UN-HABITAT Kosovo is co-funding and supporting the competition throughout the process. The city of Ferizaj/Urosevac is located about 40 km south of the capital city of Kosovo-UNMIK , Pristina. One of the main characteristics of the city is its location; strategically placed along the main transport corridor from Pristina to Skopje in FYR Macedonia. Today’s railway station is located in the heart of the city, making it easily accessible, but the railway also constitutes a barrier and causes noise and serious accidents. The nearby bus terminal is functioning as a national/international hub for passengers but could be better connected to the railway station. The mobility centre project should integrate and promote local and regional collective transport, re-exploiting the railway as a catalyst for economic growth and offering improved spatial qualities to the citizens. The objective of the competition is not only the design of a mobility centre and its close surroundings, but to obtain a vision of a regenerated Ferizaj/Urosevac city centre with a strong identity.
