By the middle of this century, more than 65 percent of the world’s population will be living in cities. This poses a great challenge to the public hand worldwide to act as initiator, stimulator and promoter of future-oriented inner-city processes. To acknowledge and promote such processes, the Senate Department for Urban Development Berlin calls for entries and participation for the first Europe-wide Urban Intervention Award 2010.

The award honours outstanding projects in urban spaces, which significantly contribute to the redefinition, revival and revaluation of inner city quarters, and honours creative urban projects of high architectonic quality. The requirement for projects is that they emerged from innovative and interdisciplinary interactions of cooperation-partners from different areas and disciplines, such as culture, architecture, initiatives, economy, etc.

Prominent realised projects will be awarded in two categories: building projects and temporary projects. Building contractors or initiatives as well as architects and artists as project authors may submit their projects, which must have been completed between January 2005 and August 2010 in Europe and within an urban context.

Dates:
* submission of all documents (also be submitted in English) until 14 Sept 2010
* jury session on 10 and 11 Nov 2010
* award ceremony on 25 Nov 2010
* exhibition from 25 Nov to 10 Jan 2011
