The Urban Land Institute (ULI) has announced six finalist projects for its global Urban Open Space Award, an annual competition that recognizes outstanding examples of successful large- and small-scale public spaces that have socially enriched and revitalized the economy of their surrounding communities.

Millennium Park represents a model for successful regeneration at the urban core, providing a place for City dwellers and tourists alike to enjoy a broad variety of free public events through an engaging community experience.  Review the Park’s highlights page

An international jury representing several facets of development—including finance, architecture, land planning and development, public affairs, design, and professional services—will select one winner.  The winning project is scheduled to be announced at the ULI Fall Meeting, set for October 5–8, 2015, in San Francisco, California. A $10,000 cash prize will be awarded to the individual or organization most responsible for the creation of the winning project.  See all 2015 Finalists
