T he Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC), the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP), and the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA) recently announced the recipients of the 2024 National Urban Design Awards. The National Urban Design Awards are awarded every two years and recognize the important link between archi- tects, planners, and landscape architects in achieving successful urban design. They strive to raise awareness of the crucial role that urban design plays in maintaining and improving the quality of life in Canadian cities and acknowledge the efforts of individuals, organiza- tions, firms, and projects in this field. According to the jury, "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 qual- ity design for the many end-users we strive to serve. "Projects were described in the submissions with high quality graph- ics, photos of built projects and evidence that these projects have made significant changes to the quality of life of Canadians across the country."
