(2) Smart Mobility within cities and territories
(3) Energy efficiency and spatial planning

Conclusions of the Jury

Airports, Cities and Urban Development
When evaluating the presented projects, the jury looked for the integration between cities and airport as their main quality.
Inside the airport domain, it evaluated how the built environment, the public spaces and services are structured so as to allow the users a sense of belonging
to the local territory, and to recognize its cultural and social identity.
Outside the domain of the airport, the way surrounding neighborhoods, cities and centers access and benefit, fluidly and comfortably, from the development of the airport area, was a key concern.

ECTP-CEU Awards 2018

The two projects that were nominated by the jury answered at least one of these concerns :

The Dublin Project 

The Dublin Project places its renewal in an integrated strategic plan at the national, regional and local levels. It develops a strategy on mobility issues by creating a Mobility Manager position to serve the project in relation to the region.
While the project recreates pleasant public spaces on the developed area, it also includes participatory approaches for its planning process.
This project’s overall approach is part of an urban renewal initiative for the area that includes the reprocessing of urban wastelands.
However, the current process does not seem completely finalized in terms of spatial composition, especially concerning the issues of parking, pedestrian paths, and public transport.

The Barcelona Project

The Barcelona Project is part of a land planning process in a currently non-urbanized territory that is particularly sensitive in terms of environmental concerns.
It sets the conditions for an internal functional development based on an approach that is both flexible at the formal level, and rigorous in terms of its expected environmental quality.
On the other hand, its metropolitan integration is not thoroughly described, even if the subway service is a major asset.
The jury wanted to encourage both approaches and asked the two teams to discuss their long term-prospects.

The XIIth European Urban and Regional Planning Awards - 

Airports, Cities and Urban development

Airports, Cities and urban development
The European Council of Town Planners considers the importance of Airports Cities in the development of metropolitan areas since the beginning of the 20th century.
Aviation and urban planning have developed in parallel over the last century and play together a major role in the future of human society.
Both can be considered in their role of polarization of human activities and planetary diffusion of culture and local specificities.

Through the 12th European Urban and Regional Planning Awards, the European Council of Spatial Planners wishes to reward the best projects, realized or in progress, research and prospective that show how Spatial Planning integrates airports in the development of cities, metropolises and regions.

The European Urban and Regional Planning Award allows the European Council of Spatial Planners to promote the concrete implementation of the Charter of European Planning approved in April 2013 in Barcelona.

Aéroports, Villes et Developpement Urbain

Villes Aéroports
Le Conseil Européen des Urbanistes considère l’importance des Villes Aéroports dans le développement des aires métropolitaines depuis le début du 20è siècle.

L’aviation et l’urbanisme se sont développés en parallèle depuis 1 siècle et jouent ensemble un rôle majeur pour l’avenir de la société humaine.
L’un et l’autre peuvent être considérés dans leur rôle de polarisation des activités humaines et de diffusion planétaire des cultures et des spécificités locales.

A travers le 12è Grand Prix de l’Urbanisme Européen, le Conseil Européen des Urbanistes souhaite récompenser les meilleurs projets, réalisés ou en cours de réalisation, recherches et prospectives qui montrent comment l’urbanisme intègre les aéroports dans le développement des villes, métropoles et régions.

Le Grand Prix de l’Urbanisme Européen permet au Conseil Européen des Urbanistes de valoriser la mise en application concrète pour les territoires de la Charte de l’Urbanisme Européen qu’il a approuvé en avril 2013 à Barcelone.
