Outline
| The International Workshop of “Low Carbon City Yahata” | |
| Date | Thursday 15 February to Thursday 1 March, 2018 |
| Organizer | NPO Asian Institute of Low Carbon Design, The University of Kitakyushu (Japan) |
| Theme | Low Carbon City Yahata |
| Contents of the competition | The NPO Asian Institute of Low Carbon Design (AILCD) is pleased to invite students from all over the world to take part in the 7th AILCD International Student Design Competition. The theme of this year is “Low Carbon City Yahata”. The competition addresses the problem of future developments within the Yahata area. The competition asks the students to re-design and make a proposal for a low carbon urban project within the Yahata area. The Yahata area should be considered as a real problematic area for the city of Kitakyushu. |
| Competition Site | Yahata area, Kitakyushu (Japan)The Yahata area stretches from the Dokai Bay in the north to the Mount Sarakura in the south. |

| Theme | Asian Institute of Low Carbon Design is actively mainstreaming the low carbon principles through international design competitions, conferences, workshops, and various student exchange programs where students, practitioners, and researchers from different countries exchanged their ideas and recent researches. As for this year, we have taken the main theme of Re-ruralize the Orio-Hibikino Urban Fringe which was basically derived from the phenomenon of urban shrinkage. Urbanization has probably encountered its turning point. In low carbon city, a compact urban area where people can live closer to their workplaces is expected to reduce travel distances and alleviate transportation demand. Reduced travel distances, in turn, will promote a shift from passenger cars to bicycles or walking. The shift to a compact urban structure should be tackled uniformly across sectors to allow cities to shift to low-carbon, high-efficient energy systems. A highly dense and complex land use in integrated centers can enhance energy efficiency. It is also important to pay attention to greenery as a key element in defining urban structures in order to switch to a low-carbon city. Greenery is not only a source of CO2 sink, but also mitigation of urban micro climates. These discussions were captured and elaborated in the Journal of Asian Institute of Low Carbon Design (JAILCD) of which contains quality research and design papers from all over the world such as Afghanistan, China, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and many others. These papers were categorized in several sections such as: Architectural Design; Energy and Environment; and Urban Planning and Sustainable Development. Therefore within this opportunity I would like to show my countless gratitude to the supports of all friends and colleagues from different countries who have been contributing and who will collaborate and work together with us for a better common future of the earth. |
