The theme of this Competition is A futuristic U-Eco Community where new technologies, the environment, and people are in harmony.

– Designers are requested to submit their ideas that combine new technologies, the environment with the people to create the U-Eco Community and maintain the proper functions for resident, commercial uses and others. The ideas should be considerate of and consistent with the developing strategies of the Songdo and Area 11.

– Design an environment-friendly city where coexistence with nature is possible through eco-technologies (environment-friendly, renewable energy sources, etc.).
– Design a communal city that enhances its locality and acts as an educational platform for future generations. The Competition is intended to generate development ideas for Area 11 within Songdo International City in Incheon Metropolitan City.
