The future of the Nemunas island in Kaunas is in hands of Kaunas inhabitants themselves. The Public Enterprise Kaunas Architecture and Urbanism Experts’ Council (KAUET) grants the possibility for people to decide regarding the perspective of the unique city territory. People may offer urban, recreational perspectives of the island and discuss offers of others.

In 2009 the Public Enterprise Kaunas Architecture and Urbanism Experts’ Council will organise the architectural and urban contest of tidying the Nemunas island in Kaunas at the order of Kaunas Municipality.

The aim of the contest is to search for optimal urban targets and ideas in order to form the island as a universal public space.

After the arena is built in the island, another 22 ha of the island territory are left, and this zone may be used for different purposes. Perfect heaven of nature may flourish in the island marked by the arena building; also, it may be suppressed by the density of many new buildings.

What could be located near the arena? The answer to this question is the duty of every Kaunas inhabitant. The ideas of Kaunas inhabitants and people concerned about Kaunas are very important for the organisers of the contest of tidying the Nemunas island in Kaunas, KAUET.
