The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is recognizing five projects with its 2021 Regional and Urban Design Awards.
The 2021 Regional & Urban Design program recognizes the best in urban design, regional and city planning, and community development. The five-member jury evaluates each submission based on how well the design addresses environmental, social, and economic issues through sustainable strategies. This includes the ability to collect and distribute resident renewable resources and energies, while enhancing quality of life and promoting social equity.
