A competition to redesign Wimbledon Town Centre has been launched by the Design Council, Love Wimbledon BID and Merton Council with a deadline for entries of 15 September 2014.
Two categories are available (‘rising stars’ for those starting out in the built environment and ‘creative communities’ for the local community and other creative practitioners).
The Design Council writes:
Future Wimbledon (is an) open competition to envisage what Wimbledon town centre could look like in the next 15 years and contribute to a masterplan that will shape the town’s future. Your submission can take the form of any format you want, whether it is a poem, song, abstract sketch or scale plans and 3D animations.
With the potential arrival of Crossrail 2, this could mean a commute from Wimbledon to London’s West End could take just 12 minutes, encouraging more people to choose to live and work there. Ideas should focus around the area of Wimbledon station and show a balance for the community, the place, the people and local businesses. What would make it a fantastic place to live and work?
