Following the well-established tradition of recognising the most prominent achievements in the broad field of spatial planning, in 2018 ISOCARP will bestow the three category awards:

  1. Awards for Excellence, open to a wide range of professionals and institutions operating in the domain of urban and regional planning; participants are invited to submit different tools used in planners’ daily practice: normative plans, strategic plans, urban projects, programmes, policies, research works, software, etc.
  2. Gerd Albers Awards, given for best individual publication: book, book chapter, journal article, and project report; only for ISOCARP members.
  3. Student Awards, addressing a student or student-group at different levels (undergraduate-bachelor, graduate-master) with outstanding results in urban and regional planning or related field.
