Registration for the 2021 Australian Urban Design Awards remain open, with submission due to close on 20 July.
Created in 1996 by then-prime minister Paul Keating’s Urban Design Taskforce, the national program recognizes excellence and innovation in Australia’s urban spaces. Entries are open to both built projects and design concepts and plans that embrace both the city and regional, and local and neighbourhood scales.
In the 2020 program, the Metro North West project by Hassell in collaboration with Turpin Crawford Studio and McGregor Westlake Architecture received the highest honour in the Built projects – city and regional scale category, while at the other end of the spectrum, Darling Square by Aspect Studios with Kengo Kuma and Associates took out the top award in the Built projects – local and neighbourhood scale section.
Fitzgerald Frisby Landscape Architecture’s Eastern Regional Trails Strategy won the Leadership, advocacy and research – city and regional scale category and was lauded by the judges as “an exemplar of cooperation and coordination.”
As in previous years, submission can be entered across the program’s four categories of Built projects – city and regional scale; Built projects – local and neighbourhood scale; Leadership and advocacy research – city and regional scale; and Leadership and advocacy research – local and neighbourhood scale.
