The Congress For New Urbanism announces the 2007 winners of its annual Charter Awards.

"Winning entries extend from Camden, NJ to Antigua, Guatemala, with the southern United States, east of the Mississippi River, making a particularly strong showing -- 14 awards all told. Regions with multiple winners are greater Washington D.C. (five), the San Francisco Bay Area (two) and Northwest Arkansas (two)."

" “These projects exhibit excellence and often a strong sense of purpose,” says jury chair Stefanos Polyzoides, a CNU co-founder and principal of Moule Polyzoides Architects and Urbanists in Pasadena, CA."

"To maximize the educational value of the awards, Polyzoides will give a lecture as part of this year’s awards ceremony, which will be held on May 18, 2007 in conjunction with the fifteenth Congress for the New Urbanism in Philadelphia."
