The aim of this study was to examine the collaboration between the Faculty of Architecture at Gdańsk University of Technology (Gdańsk Tech), Poland and L’Art Urbain dans les Territoires, Paris, France, recognised for its involvement in transforming urban development over four decades. The focus is placed on the evolution of the association’s annual competition, highlighting the growing emphasis on sustainability. Special attention is dedicated to the integration of themes relating to environmental and social sustainability into the curriculum of Master’s level design courses. This study highlights the role of the competition in enhancing education in architecture and urban planning, as well as in developing research at Gdańsk Tech, especially in fields related to the social and environmental aspects of urban regeneration. Moreover, the research also considers the wider implications of this collaboration, in particular its effectiveness in linking theoretical education to real-world challenges and in equipping architects to deal with the complexities of sustainable urban development.
