Making Cities Slicker

The WAN Urban Design Award is now open! We invite you to enter for both Completed Projects: finished on or after January 01 2011 and Future projects: Unbuilt/design-only projects. All sizes and budgets welcome.

Urban design forms an integral part of the fabric of our society. The intelligent arrangement of buildings, public spaces, transport systems and services gives shape and form to the built environment – enabling movement and connections between people and places. The WAN Urban Design Award encompasses a varied range of typologies including:
  • Landscaping
  • Public realm areas
  • Masterplans
  • Waterfront developments
  • Utility buildings
  • Urban regeneration schemes
Judging this award, we have assembled a panel of highly experienced industry leaders who will be on-hand to determine the social, economic, environmental and cultural impact of your project. Their endorsement could lead to significant opportunities for your firm and we will be announcing the line up soon – watch this space!

Our competition, sponsored this year by International Property and Investment Trade Fair Expo Real, closes on 31 August 2014. But enter by 31 July 2014 and you'll receive a 15% reduction on your registration fee. So if your project has improved the look and liveability of our cities and you wish to gain greater exposure of your work, enter the WAN Urban Design Award today.
