Call for Photographs: The Un-noticed Urban

“The mark of a great city isn’t how it treats its special places – everybody does that right – but how it treats its ordinary ones.” Aaron M. Renn

In the simplest terms ‘urban spatial structure’ can be described as constituting the arrangement of various urban facilities like markets, streets, public and private establishments, transport system etc. However easy it may sound, urban space or fabric is indeed complex, versatile, and rich in its design, function and sustenance. The urban fabric is intricately knit with the thread of elements like built infrastructure, unbuilt shatters, landscape, public places, private establishments designed to provide suitable urban experience. The patterns in the fabric so formed are the manifestation of socio-economic and cultural context, in which the city thrives. Hence, a city is a camouflage of the modern and historical, public and private, formal and informal, built and unbuilt, all coexisting and interacting, creating moments of joy, laughter and celebration. Yet, some of these elements/threads are left unacknowledged in urban discourses. It is important to recognize, acknowledge and capture such places/activities/experiences which constitute the urban setup and whose existence is vital to its experience.
This photography competition aims to recognize and capture such unnoticed elements in the city. We call for you to submit photographs of those unnoticed facets of the urban area that capture its true nature and convey its authentic essence.
