Community Planning & Design Initiative Africa

The Community Planning & Design Initiative Africa (CPDI Africa) is a culture-inspired, research-based, design-build competition, created to inspire the development of successful neighborhoods and communities on the continent, with modern African architecture that is both culturally and environmentally sustainable. Believing that the redevelopment of Africa’s built environment should be as it has always been, built as a collaborative effort between the community members and designated master builders, CPDI Africa engages participation from the design community in Africa and the Diaspora at large, for the accomplishment of its vision. 

The maiden edition of the competition held in 2015. A total $8000 in cash prizes were won. The top 25 entries from the maiden edition are published here 

CPDI Africa is a biennial event. Early bird registration for the 2017 competition is on-going. To register visit our website: www.cpdiafrica.org/registratio... .
