Paris - The UIA, working in partnership with UN-Habitat, is pleased to announce the results for the first stage of the inaugural edition of the UIA 2030 Award, which recognises and celebrates the work of architects contributing to delivery of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development together with the New Urban Agenda. Jury Chair Peter Oborn commented that "jury members were impressed by both the diversity and quality of submissions, which demonstrate the many different ways in which the work of architects from around the world is contributing to this important global agenda.” The biennial award organised in six categories and synchronised with the UN-Habitat World Urban Forum, invited architects from around the world to submit entries for built projects demonstrating both design quality and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
