Dear WUP Community,

In response to numerous requests from our participants, we are pleased to announce an extension of the submission deadline to Monday, January 15th, 2024.

We understand that various participants have encountered internal time constraints and processes that have hindered their ability to complete their proposals within the original timeframe.

The Organizing Committee and World Urban Parks have made significant efforts to ensure that Parkitecture receives submissions from a wide range of countries. 

Therefore, we are taking into consideration these valid arguments and have decided to extend the submission deadline.

Thanks
