The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona announces the 12th edition of the European Prize for Urban Public Space, which is open for entries from 5 March to 16 April 2024.

The Prize promotes debate about urban responses to challenges such as climate emergency, the increase in inequalities and the impact of technological transformations. Exceptionally, this year it incorporates Seafronts, in response to the particular vulnerability of coastal cities to climate change.

The president of this year’s jury is Beth Galí, a Barcelona-born architect, urban planner, landscape architect and industrial designer.

Organized by the CCCB, the Prize involves the collaboration of a network of 10 architecture and urban planning institutions, and over 50 experts from across the continent.

In this year’s award, the Prize has two distinct categories:

1) The general category aims to evaluate interventions in public space which took place between 2022 and 2023 with the exception of projects related with transformation of seafronts

2) Seafront category: Given the challenges faced by cities that are open to the sea as a consequence of the climate change, this category aims to assess projects of transforming, recovering, and creating seafronts over the last five years, from 2019 to 2023 inclusive.
