About

ReROW (The Rethinking the Right of Way research cluster, led by SCARP Professor Kelly Clifton), is hosting a competition for students to reimagine UBC's University Boulevard! Spots are tight and the deadline is March 17, so sign up while you can!

The IDEAthon Competition, hosted on March 22nd at the Nest, invites undergraduate students to reimagine University Boulevard from East Mall to Westbrook. Join as a team of 3-4 students from different departments or register individually and they will match you with a team. 

Whether you're studying engineering, architecture, urban planning, environmental science, or any other discipline, your perspective matters! 

The top three teams will win cash prizes ($500, $300, $200), and all participants enjoy a free lunch & snacks.

What is ReROW?

The Rethinking the Right of Way (ReROW) research cluster 

is all about integrating the human experience into the planning, design, and operation of transportation infrastructure. What makes city transportation more than a service but a positive daily experience? The benefits and burdens of transportation systems are inequitably distributed. Pursuing these research questions can contribute to advancing social justice for marginalised groups.

ReROW’s long-term goal is providing policy guidance to public agencies, supported by its research and insights. Its deliverables can help inform and guide changes to the ROW, deriving from convergent science, technological innovation, and university-engaged partnerships.
