The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) announces the 13th edition of the European Prize for Urban Public Space. Since 2000, this biennial honorary competition has recognized the best interventions to create, transform and recover public spaces in European cities. For the first time, in this edition the time limit for works submitted is extended to 5 years (completed between the months of January 2021 and December 2025). The call for entries will be open for two and a half months, from 10 December to 26 February.
The European Prize for Urban Public Space is the only one in Europe devoted exclusively to public urban spaces, and recognizes both the authors and the developers of the projects. It offers a singular vision of the challenges facing cities today, such as climate emergency, the transformation of mobility and social inequalities, key elements that directly impact the design of public spaces. These spaces are not only essential for the quality of urban life, they also play a key role in cities’ democratic health.
In the course of its 25-year existence, the Prize has become consolidated as an observatory of good practices, with an online archive offering a platform for reflection on possible solutions to the challenges of the future. It is a contribution to the redefinition of public spaces as places for collective meeting and coexistence in European cities.
