A guiding principle of the Urban Land Institute is that the achievement of excellence in land use practice & design should be recognised and rewarded. Since 1979, ULI has honoured outstanding development projects in both the private and public sectors. In a similar vein, property consultants CBRE have been at the forefront in promoting excellence in placemaking across the globe.

The ULI Excellence in Placemaking Awards, supported by CBRE, rewards best practice in placemaking in the Irish market.

The awards reward organisations and communities throughout Ireland that make genuine efforts to improve their local communities through the initiation of projects that add to the public realm and make better places in which to live, work and play.

Follow us on LinkedIn or Twitter for more information when we launch the 5th annual awards ceremony later this year.

The project must demonstrate a high standard of excellence in design, planning, construction, economics and management.
The project must demonstrate relevance to the contemporary and future needs of the community in which it is located.
The project must be publicly accessible, free of charge and provide benefit for the community in which it is located.
The project must provide lessons, strategies, and techniques that could be used or adapted in other communities.

There will be a prize for the best community project and the best private/public sector project in each of the five category locations – (Dublin, Rest of Leinster, Munster, Connaught and Ulster).
Each winning project will win a bespoke trophy and the project will be showcased in the Irish media.
The winning entries in each of the five locations will in turn be eligible for consideration for the overall national Placemaking award, the prize for which will be a contribution of €5,000 towards the design of a bespoke piece of sculpture, art or community project for the benefit of the local community in which the winning project is based.
