The Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design is a biannual award[1] that acknowledges remarkable urban design projects that include multiple buildings or an open space, improve the quality of urban life, and have a humane and beneficial impact. It is awarded by Harvard University's Graduate School of Design (Mass., U.S.A.) and was founded in 1986 to mark the 350th anniversary of Harvard University and the 50th anniversary of the Graduate School of Design.[2]
The award has been cited as the world's most important for urban planning.[3][1] It comes with a prize of $50,000 (in 2017).[4] Among its unique particularities, is that its jury members visit finalist projects in person.[1]
