In mid-March, a distinguished jury spent a weekend perusing more than 200 submissions from over 170 firms to select winners of the Congress for the New Urbanism's second annual Charter Awards. The 18 projects chosen represent the best in New Urbanist practice and all scales of development and planning, from individual blocks and buildings to neighborhoods and regional plans. Surprisingly, all of the award winners are infill projects.
