Excerpt:
Organized since 2019 by the University of Bologna in collaboration with ICTA-UAB and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, the challenge has brought together more than 750 students from around the world since its inception. The 2026 challenge invited participants to transform a social housing area in the Sant Cosme neighborhood of El Prat de Llobregat into a dynamic and vibrant environment through agricultural and architectural solutions.
Nine student teams presented their proposals in the grand final held at the ICTA-UAB headquarters. The winning team, made up of eight students from universities in Italy, Egypt, Sweden, and Germany, took first prize with a project that proposes creating green areas in the interior spaces of the social housing blocks in the seventh phase of Sant Cosme. The proposal includes soil-filled planter boxes for producing vegetables for local consumption, hydroponic units built from recycled PVC pipes, and a space with vertical plant structures where residents can sit and enjoy leisure activities.
