The 2024 recipients of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC)’s National Urban Design Awards have been announced. They include twelve new projects in six provinces, each with a marked ability to advance the discipline and improve the quality of life for a broad range of Canadian communities, both large and small.
The bi-annual honors are presented in unison with the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) and the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA).
The Awards jury stated: "The submissions were consistently very high quality, and focused on many of the topics we as designers are all focusing on in our ever-changing world — justice, equity, diversity and inclusion, on climate change, on resiliency and as always — on high quality design for the many end users we strive to serve."
The twelve winning projects are:
