Abstract

Based on the Yangtze River Delta Youth Rural Revitalization Design Competition, this paper explores the impact of design competitions on rural development. Using the competition's implemented outcomes as case studies, it analyzes the specific roles of competitions across four dimensions: reproduction of vernacular culture, regeneration of landscape appearance, reshaping of local brands, and resonance of social effects. The research finds that design competitions have significant impacts on improving rural environments, strengthening cultural identity and confidence, promoting industrial development, and facilitating social participation.
