Abstract
Over the past two decades, international urban design competitions have transformed architectural education by fostering creativity and interdisciplinary learning. This article provides a 20-year perspective by focusing on five of the most prominent competitions: Europan, UIA Student Competitions, ULI Hines Student Competitions, Arturbain.fr and the Global Schindler Award. Through a comparative analysis of these competitions, the research examines their thematic focus, participation levels, educational engagement and impact on urban design education. The results show that these competitions emphasise sustainability, ecological change and shared learning among participants. An analysis of selected editions illustrates their evolution in addressing urban challenges, such as regional connectivity, public space accessibility and environmental resilience. This study highlights that participation in these competitions prepares future urban designers to address complex challenges by encouraging innovative and sustainable solutions. It also underscores the transformative role of competitions in shaping and advancing urban design education.
