“小时城市”的概念由AECOM和Van Alen研究所提出、洛克菲勒基金会率先推出，在100个弹性城市里，今年将举行的是Urban SOS™学生创意比赛。我们要求学生们提出能够解决住房危机、交通运输或经济发展挑战的新解决方案，继而重新设想未来“小时城市”的边界。

历史上，一个城市的边界根据人们在一个小时内所能达到的最远距离来定义。这些边界决定了城市基础设施的覆盖面及其与周边地区的交流程度。随着全球化的普及与发展，社会和经济的转变，现在是时候重新思考这些边界。我们让学生们去挖掘城市、郊区和农村社区之间机会联系的新途径。

这三个系统代表了当今社会所面临的巨大挑战：我们如何增加高质量的经济适用住房的供应？我们如何改善人员流动性，从而提供更多的就业、家庭、市场以及服务机遇？我们是否可以开发更多的公平经济，服务更广泛的人群？这些人群的技能与受教育程度都十分有限，有些甚至生活在偏远的农村。

我们鼓励学生通过政治策略、商业模式和其他解决方案来解决人们所面临的挑战，但这些方案必须符合100个弹性城市中某个特定城市的现实情况。学生必须组成一个由两到五名成员组成的跨学科小组，其中至少包括两个学科。参赛者必须在2017-2018学年参加认证课程。

由香港、伦敦、纽约和悉尼的四位行业领袖组成的评委团将负责审查提交的材料，并选出决赛入围者，入围者将于2018年1月在洛杉矶进行最后一次演讲。总奖金15000美元将分发给决赛选手，获奖团队将从AECOM获得价值25000美元的奖品，以实施其提案试点。

Presented by AECOM and Van Alen Institute, with 100 Resilient Cities — Pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation, hOUR City is this year’s Urban SOS™ student ideas competition. We’re asking students to propose new solutions to tackle housing, transportation, or economic development challenges and to re-imagine what a future “hour city” boundary can be.
Historically, the boundaries of a city were defined by how far people could travel in one hour. These boundaries determined the reach of a city’s infrastructure, and its exchanges with surrounding areas. With the forces of globalization and dramatic geographic, social and economic shifts, the time has come to reimagine these boundaries. We’re challenging students to consider new ways for urban, suburban, and rural communities to connect to opportunity.
The three systems represent some of the biggest challenges society faces today: How do we increase the supply of high-quality affordable housing? How can we improve mobility to offer greater access to jobs, homes, markets, and services? Can we develop more equitable economies that reach a wider range of people, including those with limited skills and education, and those living in remote rural areas?
Students are encouraged to propose policy strategies, business models, and other solutions to address their chosen challenge, but these proposals must be accompanied by a physical intervention at a specific site in a city within the 100 Resilient Cities network. Students must form a multidisciplinary team of two to five members to enter, and include students from two disciplines at a minimum. Entrants must be enrolled in a certified program during the 2017-2018 academic year to participate.
Four juries comprised of industry leaders in Hong Kong, London, New York and Sydney will review submissions and select finalists to advance to a final presentation in Los Angeles in January 2018. A total of US$15,000 in prize money will be distributed among the finalist teams, and the winning team will receive up to US$25,000 of in-kind support from AECOM to implement a pilot of their proposal.
