> IDENTIFYING A TOWN-PLANNING STRATEGY FOR PIAN SCAIROLO, THE MAIN 
> COMMERCIAL-INDUSTRIAL AREA OF THE URBAN CONGLOMERATION OF LUGANO WITH A 
> VIEW TO DEVELOPING AN ATTRACTIVE MODERN BUSINESS LOOP

After the positive experiences of the international town-planning 
competition for the Cornaredo district in 2004 (for a progress report on the 
work carried out to date, please visit www.cornaredo.ch), the Town of Lugano 
is launching a competition along with the Communes of Barbengo, Collina 
d'Oro and Grancia and the regional spatial planning department (Dipartimento 
del territorio) to replan the largest commercial-industrial urban area of 
Canton Ticino, which currently provides over 5,000 jobs with a turnover of 
more than one billion Swiss francs.

The urban conglomeration of Lugano is among the largest economic urban 
centres in Switzerland. With this competition it aims to identify an 
innovative concept for what is to become a hub of economic development in 
the Ticino region.

The competition procedure involves a preselection process: applications will 
be processed, and up to fifteen groups will be invited to the main stage of 
the anonymous competition.
The prize money amounts to SFr.200,000 (approx. EUR125,000).
Applicants must submit a dossier by the entry deadline of 21 January 2008. 
The competition itself will begin on 17 March 2008 and will close upon 
delivery of the work at the end of May 2008.
The procedure involves the participation of international interdisciplinary 
teams, and applicants must be willing to accept additional mandates from the 
party inviting tenders.
