The Voronezh Sea

The Voronezh Reservoir is 30 km. long and 2 km. wide and was created in 1972 in the centre of Vonorezh, a city of over 1 million inhabitants 500 km south of Moscow. 20 years later is was closed for recreational use because of pollution. The aim of this competition is to gather ideas on the use of the Voronezh Reservoir so it can be more attractive for the population and be a resource for the development of the city once it is cleaned up. The projects should not just address ecological issues, but also contain proposals on the urban and natural development of the Reservoir and its direct surroundings.

The ideas should not necessarily concern the whole reservoir, but can be proposals for one or more parts. An Open Ideas Competition is open to all including students, a Closed Competition for the development of a strategy is organized at the same time.
