[sustran] World Carfree Network's 2nd Annual Street Conversion Design Contest

"2nd Annual Street Conversion Design Contest

The value of human-scaled carfree areas is increasingly appreciated, 
both among urbanists and the general public. Yet how can we transform 
existing areas to create lively people-oriented spaces free of traffic?

Through our 2nd Annual Street Conversion Design Contest, we are 
challenging architects, artists and ordinary citizens from around the 
world to design carfree spaces from formerly car-oriented spaces. And 
where possible, we're also encouraging people to realise the designs on 
the ground.

*Update:* Thanks to a grant from Artists' Project Earth 
<http://www.apeuk.org>, we are able to do further global outreach to 
announce this year's contest more widely. Therefore the deadline has 
been extended to *November 15, 2007*. The grant has also allowed us to 
offer cash prizes of €100-200."
