　　On 15 September 2016 the ISOCARP Awards for Excellence were granted for the 10th time. The awards were conferred during the 52nd ISOCARP Congress taking place in Durban, South Africa, with the theme “Cities we Have vs Cities we Need”. The theme is a catalyst to foster trans-disciplinary ways to interpret the past and conceive the future of cities. This requires a reflection on current innovative practices of planning and the different ways of generating the desirable cities of the future.


 

　　After careful evaluation by an international expert jury, the International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP) decided to award the following organizations for their special development plans:

　　Zhongshan Avenue District Renewal Planning, Wuhan, China:

　　“This project is honored for its inclusionary public participation and focus on the street as the umbilical cord within the network of the public realm, striving to improve public transport, protect the history and culture of place, and encourage community involvement.”
