The City of Calgary celebrated the 2019 Mayor’s Urban Design Award (MUDA) winners at a gala celebration held at the Calgary Central Library. Every two years, the city acknowledges the important contributions of designers, architects and artists that help improve the quality of life in Calgary through art and design.
“Recognizing the people behind our vibrant buildings and spaces in our city is important,” said David Down, city’s chief urban designer. “Well-designed space make people feel welcome, improves safety and accessibility and creates a memorable sense of place.”
