Projects showcase examples of inclusive design, innovative funding models, adaptive reuse, and sustainability
WASHINGTON (October 24, 2024) – Seven impressive developments from around the world have been selected as winners of the 2024 Urban Land Institute (ULI) Global Awards for Excellence. This year’s winners include two from North America, three from Europe, and two from Asia Pacific.
ULI began the Awards for Excellence program in 1979 to recognize truly superior development efforts in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. Winning projects represent the highest standards of achievement in the land use profession.
In 2024, 109 projects and programs were submitted across the three ULI regions – the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Of those submissions, 27 were named as winners across the regions and were then considered as global finalists. From this impressive field, the jury ultimately selected the seven global winners. A video compilation of the winners can be viewed here. More information on each of the regional finalists can be found here: Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
“This year’s finalists demonstrate how pioneering developments and programs can create more inclusive cities through contextual design, thoughtful implementation, and innovative funding models,” said jury chair Doug Voigt, Partner, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) Chicago. “Each of the winners exhibits a deep commitment to tackling the most pressing local issues and positively impacting their communities and environments. Together, they showcase a diversity of inventive strategies for transforming cities around the world, serving as replicable examples on both regional and global scales that advance ULI’s core mission.”
The 2024 ULI Global Awards for Excellence winners are:
