Dear friends,
The proposal for the 10th IAHH International Student Design Competition should be based in a small town in your / any other country having a population of 1,00,000 or less citizens. The idea is based on an understanding that we need to study, design and plan for each town and city and not just metropolises or big cities.
Since the definition of small towns vary in different countries, we suggested that we take small towns with about 1,00,000 or less population.
with best wishes,
Akhtar
