At the end of February, The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC), the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP), and the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CLSA) revealed the winners of their annual National Urban Design Awards. The 2020 edition of awards includes a dozen projects from across Canada ranging from public art installations and parks to a revitalized underpass, each selected for their unique contribution to the surrounding built environment.
Awarded as part of a two-tier program held in cooperation with Canadian municipalities, the 2020 National Urban Design Awards program judged winners of municipal urban design awards, as well as 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.
