Bombardier YouCity is a unique initiative which is combining competitive and collaborative challenges, involving Social Media, and allowing you to work in interdisciplinary and international teams among a panel of Bombardier experts.
Choose your task from those provided and submit your proposal or video for the future of urban mobility!
Tasks:
- In each task, participants will be asked to answer some general questions.
- Their answers will have to be presented in a one-page document, with no restriction in terms of layout.
- This document will be the base for the expert evaluation.
- Candidates will nonetheless be able to attach any additional document they want to detail or further illustrate their proposal.
Task 1: The candidates will start by drawing an overview of the current and upcoming issues and bottlenecks of their target city's urban mobility, and provide a more detailed analysis of the most important one(s).
Task 2: The second task is about a fully comprehensive and holistic approach. How does the proposal fit in the global picture for that city? This final proposal should combine all of the 3 aspects: Engineering, Business and Urban planning.
Bonus Task: Video Challenge
Eligibility:
- The online competition is open to students and professionals with a vision for the future of urban mobility from developed cities to emerging cities of the future.
- In order to participate in the contest, you have to register. As a registered user you can not only submit your proposals and become eligible for the prizes, but also read, evaluate and comment on any other participant’s proposals.
- Candidates can participate individually, or decide to form a team of up to 5 participants. New teams can be formed or members added as long as registration is open.
- To focus the contest, Bombardier has selected three cities to represent the different markets for urban mobility around the world: London, UK (mature market), Belo Horizonte, Brazil (BRIC market) and Vientiane, Laos (emerging market). Each candidate/team will choose one city on which they will base their proposal.
- The teams and individual candidates will then be asked to develop their concepts in one of three work streams focused on: engineering (product definition, technical concept), business (business model, stakeholders, financing strategy) and urban planning (network layout, urbanism concepts, integration).
