International student competition
“Headline Urban Mobilities!”

The aim of the third IVM competition was to discover and identify original experiments in mobility in different cities around the world, from a journalistic perspective, in order to familiarise the public with the issue.
The winner of the third IVM competition was the project « Mototaxis ». Relating to the city of Franca - Brazil. The full results are published on the pages below.

The aim was to look at schemes that “facilitate” mobility rather than the performance and failings of the big well-known transport systems.

The International Jury considered the 12 international features on the basis of 5 main criteria:

Originality

Novelty of the subject

Handling of the investigation and the subject

Quality of writing and layout of the feature

Iconographic quality

The International Jury was made up of:
François Ascher, Chairman of IVM’s Scientific Committee and Professor at the French Institute of Urban Planning (Kerry University Paris 8) (France), Chairman
Niels Albertsen, Professor, Aarhus School of Architecture (Danemark)
Myr Muratet, photographer ( France)
Sylvain Allemand, journalist with “Sciences Humaines” (France)
Tomàs Moreira, architect (Brazil)
Nicolas Spicer, Paris correspondent of the US radio station “NPR” (USA)
Frédéric Soumois, journalist at “Le soir” (Belgium)

12 teams of journalism students were selected in partnership with schools of journalism or as free entrants to produce a 6-8 page feature on an innovative urban mobility service in their country. The International Jury was to choose two winning teams.
