The municipality of Debica, in cooperation with the Rzeszow branch of the Association of Polish Architects, has announced an architectural and urban planning competition for the concept of rebuilding Debica's market square. What will this urban space look like after reconstruction?

The competition is an implementation competition, limited, one-stage.

The proposed functional solutions should take into account the maximum use of the market space throughout the year so that concerts, festive events, important celebrations and meetings related to sports events can be held there.

The organizers of the competition expect the central part of the market to be exposed with a motif referring to the history of the city, the existing tree stand to be preserved to the maximum extent and green areas to be enlarged. Among other things, new city toilets, one fountain and consistent elements of small architecture should be designed.

The conceptual solution must include solutions that take into account the needs for sustainability and resilience to climate change and present a method of rainwater retention. The entire project should be designed in accordance with the principles of blue-green infrastructure. Propose solutions to permanently or seasonally reduce sunny areas to reduce heat islands.
