This prestigious award applauds projects that create transformative urban environments. The projects or products can be within architecture and urban design. They can also use smart artificial intelligence (AI), or sustainable engineering (SE).

The URBAN DESIGN & SMART CITIES Award serves as an inspiration for urban planners, architects, engineers, and innovators to push the boundaries of what is possible in urban living. It encourages applicants to imagine cities that are not only technologically advanced but also sustainable, inclusive, and adaptable to the ever-changing needs of their residents.

In an era where the fusion of AI and SE is reshaping urban landscapes, this award celebrates you, who lead the way, transforming cities into vibrant, efficient, and equitable hubs of innovation. It is a testament to the belief that smart urban design, including AI and SE, can pave the path towards a brighter, more connected, and sustainable urban future for all.

From intelligent traffic management systems that reduce congestion to AI-driven waste management solutions that enhance cleanliness, we invite applications from projects that redefine what it means to live in a modern city.
