Twelve projects across Canada have been selected for the 2020 National Urban Design Awards. Six Awards of Excellence were handed out along with five Awards of Merit and a Special Jury Award by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC), the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP), and the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CLSA).
The winning projects range from public art installations and parks to a revitalized underpass. The awards are part of a two-tier program held in cooperation with Canadian municipalities. The National Urban Design Awards program judged winners of the 2020 municipal awards and entries submitted at large.
The awards in each category will be presented during the RAIC’s Conference on Architecture hosted in Edmonton from June 3-7, 2020.
