The City of London recognizes and encourages the implementation of sound urban planning and design principles. The City’s Official Plan, a comprehensive policy document, outlines a multitude of policies intended to promote urban design excellence.

The Urban Design Awards program is intended to recognize and celebrate original design and innovative concepts and visionary thinking in the following categories: Buildings; Buildings (Small Scale Residential); Public Realm Enhancements; Public Spaces and Landscapes; and Large Places and Neighbourhoods.

The awards are intended to inspire developers, architects, landscape architects, planners and designers to advance excellence in their own projects in pursuit of community recognition and appreciation. Council’s goal is to emphasize the importance of outstanding urban design in establishing a city environment that is creative, engaging, and attractive. This is an important piece of the Creative City concept which aims to attract people to London through high quality city building. Following the 2013 awards ceremony the winning entries will be showcased at a national level, through the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) National Urban Design Awards Program.
