Gerd Albers Award 2010
The jury of Gerd Albers Award had the honour to review nine entries of ISOCARP members for the Gerd Albers Award 2010. The members of the jury, coming from academia, government and practice, evaluated the entries and decided to give the Gerd Albers Award 2010 to:
The journal “urbanistic pvs”
submitted by Federico Malusardi, Italy
The “urbanistica pvs” is an outstanding contribution to the theory and practice of city & regional planning. The journal focuses on the developing world, but especially in the theory of planning it is not limited to it. It is an impressive and interesting publication which makes a great contribution to planners’ knowledge on human settlements, sustainability and society. Some jury members raised queries about the somewhat dated design of the journal.
