Reimagining Istanbul with AI - Urban Co-Design Workshop

Ever wanted to redesign a street, a square, or a forgotten corner of your Istanbul neighborhood? Join us at Postane Hol (Galata) on Monday 27 April for a 2-hour hands-on workshop where you'll use AI to reimagine a real public space, vote on each other's ideas, and send the best ones straight to planners at İBB Şehir Planlama Müdürlüğü.
💰 What you can earn
🏆 1st place (most-voted redesign) — 1500 ₺
🥈 2nd place — 1000 ₺
🥉 3rd place — 500 ₺
✍️ Every participant who completes the post-workshop survey — 250 ₺
So: show up, spend two hours reimagining your city with AI, vote for your favorites, fill out the survey → walk out with at least 5, potentially up to 25 if your redesign wins.
