Wikitopia是一个跨学科研究项目，其目标是实现技术增强的未来城市，可以通过在线百科全书维基百科等平台，让公民不断编辑和改进。该项目主要由日本政府（日本科学技术厅MIRAI计划）投资，是跨越日本和美国多个组织和个人之间的国际合作。

因此主办方将举办一场国际竞赛，征集各种新颖的设计理念（建筑、技术、法规等），这些想法有利于全球城市化的未来发展。

构思理念包含设计、技术、系统和概念等方面，并且在近期有可行性，因此，设计方案并非纯粹概念性，应当包含前瞻性的想法，同时也成为未来的研究项目。

城市的发展不仅依赖于少数专业人士，更需要公民积极、自发的参与。我们相信，通过本次竞赛，参赛者们能够构思促进未来城市发展的设计理念。因此，我们期待收到来自各种观点和学科背景的作品，包括建筑、城市规划、工程、科学、美术等等。


关于竞赛

竞赛将分两个阶段进行：第一阶段和第二阶段。虽然这两个阶段是相关的，但设计作品不需要重复提交。

主办方希望本次竞赛的参赛作品能够在塑造维基百科未来的项目中发挥重要作用，从这个意义上讲，参赛者都有可能成为项目的合作者。主办方希望设计方案能够综合现有理念，思考城市空间的设计、实施和使用。

•   第一阶段比赛截止日期：2018年9月24日（星期一）
•   第二阶段比赛截止日期：2018年12月28日（星期五）


竞赛指引

在第一阶段竞赛中，我们提出“app”的功能概念，，这些功能将组成Wikitopia的基础构建模块——“人们构建的未来城市”。然后，再使用“app”来表达“公民自发行为对城市空间的影响”。现有“app”功能包括以下内容：

•   涂鸦和其他自发的街头艺术
•   椅子：在公共场所自发安装椅子/长凳
•   Parklets：在公共场所自发建造小型场地，如停车位
•   园艺：自发地将空地转变为花园
•   农民市场：由在公共场所聚集的多家小商店创建的临时市场
•   众筹：使用众筹来资助社区城市项目
•   共享服务：促进城市资源有效利用的软件（优步、Airbnb等）
•   支持DIY风格城市化的公共项目，如旧金山Groundplay和纽约广场项目

我们要求您提出超越此类先例的全新“功能”构思。应用程序可以利用现有技术，如人工智能、物联网、3D打印和其他数字制作技术、虚拟和增强现实、投影映射、无人机、自动驾驶汽车。此外，这些功能必须符合当地法规。

竞赛参考场地是东京银座（非硬性要求）。主要目的是构思人们每天的互动方式，其中银座只是一个例子。因此，想法可以更加自由，并非必须与银座、东京或日本的特定历史、文化和地理环境紧密相关。

以下是我们希望看到的几种想法。这些只是示例，作品不需要完全按照这些类别，构思理念可以在这些范围之内，也可在其之外。只要作品具有创新意识和可行性，都将成为优秀的作品。

1）创新硬件
涉及城市硬件（建筑物、空间、设施等）的想法，能够帮助实现Wikitopia的愿景。例如由当地社区成员自发建造的公共家具或小型公园，以及由公众描述内容的电子招牌。

2）创新的IT系统
关于影响城市功能或人们在其中行为的新IT系统。例如基于网络的系统，这有助于将未充分利用的空间用作商店、舞台等，而人们也可以通过增强现实系统将虚拟信息添加到城市环境中。

3）创新规划
与都市主义新规划、法规、活动等相关的DIY风格想法。鼓励公民参与提出DIY城市化项目的管制建议，自发举办研讨会，以及设计和建造公共空间（街道，广场等）等等。


奖励

获奖者（1名）：50万日元（约4600美元）
入围者（2~3名）：10万日元（约920美元）
荣誉奖（4~5名）：5万日元（约460美元）


参赛资格

本次竞赛对年龄、国籍、专业没有限制，鼓励个人和团体（需选择团队负责人）参加，个人/团体作品提交的数量没有限制。

Submission: September 24, 2018
Registration: September 24, 2018
Language: English, Japanese
Location: Concept
Prizes: Please see details below
Type: Open

Wikitopia is an ambitious, cross-disciplinary research project, the goal of which is to realize technologically-enhanced future cities that can be continuously edited and improved by citizens like the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Primarily funded by the Japanese government (Japan Science and Technology Agency MIRAI Program), the project is an international collaboration between multiple organizations and individuals spread across Japan and the US.
As part of our research, we will hold an international competition soliciting a wide range of novel ideas (architectural, technological, regulational, etc.) that can shape the future of urbanism worldwide.
We seek ideas for new designs, technologies, systems, and concepts that we can realistically expect to be implemented in the near- to mid-term future. In other words, what we would like to see is not complete science fiction, but forward-looking ideas that nevertheless can inform or become part of our research agenda in the coming years.
What we call Wikitopia is a vision of future cities that are built not only by the hands of few (governments, developers, professionals, etc.), but through active, spontaneous participation of citizens. We believe that the ideas submitted to this competition will comprise the fundamental building blocks of such future cities. We look forward to receiving diverse submissions from a variety of perspectives and disciplinary backgrounds, including architecture, urban design, engineering, science, fine arts, activism, and many others.

ABOUT THE COMPETITION
The competition will be held in two separate phases: Phase 1 and Phase 2. Although the two phases are related, submission to one phase does not require submission to the other.
We expect that entries to this competition will play significant roles in shaping the future of the Wikitopia Project — in this sense, everyone who contributes ideas will become a de-facto collaborator of our project. We hope to see novel submissions that go beyond existing thoughts about how urban spaces/systems are designed, implemented, and used.
• Phase 1 Competition Deadline: September 24 (Monday), 2018
• Phase 2 Competition Deadline: December 28 (Friday), 2018

GUIDELINES
In the Phase 1 Competition, we solicit new “apps” that will become the foundational building blocks of Wikitopia — “future cities created by everyone”. Here, we use the term “app” to refer to any idea that “affects urban space or people’s activities within it, through spontaneous actions of citizens, digital, physical, or a combination thereof”. Existing “apps” include the following:
• Graffiti, and other spontaneous street art
• Chair-bombing: spontaneously installing chairs/benches in public space
• Parklets: spontaneously building small parks in public space, such as parking spaces
• Guerrilla Gardening: spontaneously converting vacant lots into gardens
• Farmers’ Markets: temporary markets created by multiple small stores gathering in public space
• Civic Crowdfunding: The use of crowdfunding to finance communal urban projects
• Sharing Services: Software services that facilitate efficient use of urban resources (Uber, Airbnb, etc.)
• New public programs that support DIY-style urbanism, such as San Francisco’s Groundplay and the NYC Plaza Program
We ask you to come up with ideas for new “apps” that go beyond such precedents. Apps can make use of existing or (reasonably realistic) near-future technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, IoT (Internet of Things), 3D Printing and other Digital Fabrication techniques, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Projection Mapping, Drones, Self-driving Cars, etc. Also, apps can require (again, reasonably realistic) new legislation, regulations, or infrastructures as prerequisites for their deployment.
The site is Ginza, Tokyo. However, please consider this as more of a hint than a hard requirement. We are looking for ideas that can be applied to neighborhoods where “a large number of people and objects actively interact daily, in diverse ways”, of which Ginza is but one example. Thus, ideas do not necessarily need to be closely tied to the specific historical, cultural, and geographical context of Ginza, Tokyo, or Japan.
Below are several of the types of ideas we hope to see. These are merely examples, and submissions do not need to neatly fall into any of these three categories; they can occupy space between multiple categories, or lie entirely outside any of the categories. Any idea that contributes, in one way or another, to the core idea of “future cities created by everyone” will make a valid submission.
1) Innovative Hardware
Ideas involving new urban hardware (buildings, spaces, facilities, etc.) that contribute to the Wikitopia vision. Examples include public furniture or small parks that can be built spontaneously by members of the local community, and digital signboards whose contents can be controlled by the public.
2) Innovative IT Systems
Ideas about new IT systems that affect the city’s functions and/or people’s behaviors within it. Examples include a web-based system that facilitates use of underutilized spaces as stores, stages, etc., and an augmented-reality system that allows anyone to overlay virtual information onto the urban environment.
3) Innovative Planning
Ideas related to new programs, regulations, events, etc., that support DIY-style urbanism. Examples include deregulation proposals that facilitate citizen participation in DIY urbanism projects, spontaneously held workshops, and new procedures by which public space (streets, plazas, etc.) is designed and built.
