Dear all ppbs,...
Just arrived on my email,
This is a competition with a large scope, collaborative, multidisciplinary nature.
It would be interesting to form a lively discussion in our forum or an official PPb's team(s)????

Executive Summary
In its role as a premier research institution, MIT is committed to generating, disseminating, and preserving knowledge, and to working with others to bring this knowledge to bear on the world's most pressing issues. Through the Just Jerusalem Competition, it seeks to inspire and enable the production of visionary ideas for the city, in the form of competition entries submitted from around the world. The goal is to generate new ideas and discussions about Jerusalem as it might be in the future—a just city shared in peace by all residents, whether they be Muslims, Christians or Jews, Palestinians or Israelis. It seeks visions of Jerusalem that transcend nationalist discourses and instead focus on questions of daily life and the "right to the city."
The participation of a broad range of actors and institutions here and abroad is essential to enabling the plurality of ideas and design visions that will make the competition a starting point for future deliberations over the city. While the competition is couched in physical terms, all entries to the competition will be expected to describe in words (in terms of institutions, practices, meanings of place, renderings of space, interpretations of history, etc.) their visions for Jerusalem. The winning entries will be assembled and disseminated both in print and through a series of exhibitions to promote policy discussion and public debate.
The Jerusalem 2050 initiative and its Just Jerusalem Competition are interdisciplinary activities sponsored by MIT's Center for International Studies (CIS) and the Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP). They are not grounded in any national political project or diplomatic proposal. The project's Steering Committee represents various academic disciplines as well as a diversity of national, religious, and political perspectives. The project's goal is simply to allow for the envisioning of Jerusalem, real and symbolic, as a just, peaceful, and sustainable urban locale.
Jointly sponsored by MIT's Center for International Studies and the Department of Urban Studies and Planning
Competition Launch Date: March 2, 2007
Deadline for Entries: December 31, 2007
