2007 CNU Charter Awards - urbanism competition

Recognizing Achievements in Design, Planning, and Development that Meet the Exacting Standards of the Charter of the New Urbanism. Administered by the Congress for the New Urbanism, the Charter Awards program recognizes the best work of this new era of placemaking. Each year CNU convenes a jury of respected experts to review submissions and select the winning entries that best embody and advance the principles of the Charter of the New Urbanism. Winners set the gold standard for urban design and development and serve as powerful examples for future development.

Judging Criteria
Charter Awards entries are judged on the extent to which they fulfill and advance the principles of the Charter of the New Urbanism, which defines the essential qualities of outstanding buildings and urban places from the scale of the region to the building and the block. The Charter Awards recognize excellence in architectural, landscape, and urban designs built in harmony with their physical and social contexts as well as the policies, plans and codes that structure them. Projects to be considered include regional plans, neighborhood plans, and urban buildings, parks, and public spaces.

The judging criteria recognize that implementing high-quality built work is a special achievment while also acknowledging that large-scale plans také years to implement.
