Awards 2012

WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Academicians, friends and finalists gathered at Covent Garden's Grand Connaught Rooms on Friday 11 November 2011 to hear who had triumphed in the 2012 Urbanism Awards.

Following a summer of assessment visits, the Academy's 500 members were invited to vote according to reports written by teams of Academicians.

Although each category can produce only one winner, each of the 15 Finalists joins the Academy's ranks of Great Places that we learn from in order to influence future placemaking.
