THE COMPETITION:
“Columbus Re-Wired” is an urban design ideas competition intended to seek out a wide array of creative proposals and solutions that will initiate a dialogue about the current and future state of Columbus ’ overall infrastructure network with specific emphasis on public transportation.
The City of Columbus continues to be one of the fastest growing urban places in the United States. While historically having had a more cohesive strategy for public transportation (having a heavily used streetcar system dismantled after World War II when the city’s compact development patterns rapidly transformed), Columbus currently is the largest city in the United States without significant forms of robust public transportation, a major factor in “SustainLane” assigning Columbus a #50 ranking (out for 50) for the most sustainable U.S. cities. However, studying only public transportation’s impact on a city’s livability and civic health limits the understanding of a city’s complex matrix of interconnected variables, both explicitly and implicitly manifested.
