We have received a wide range of exciting and creative applications from around the world. Thank you to the over 284 students for the time and effort they put into their application packages. From this pool of talented students we have selected and notified our finalists.

We look forward to this year's workshop, from July 2 - 13, which will focus on the key issues of transport and connectivity. The program will place participants in an intensive learning environment challenged by international approaches to city-making and urban design to produce an outcome which galvanizes the energies of the design, planning and engineering students as well as the stakeholders. The ideas produced can then underpin the review and rewriting of the Gold Coast City Council's own planning documents. EDAW is excited at the prospect of working with students and various guest speakers from the area throughout the upcoming workshop.
