The City of Ottawa recognized 28 different projects across five categories at its Urban Design Awards on October 17, 2017.

Awards of Excellence were handed out in four categories:

  • Urban Infill (low-rise and mid to high-rise), which looks at efforts to introduce quality built spaces into established places and neighbourhoods in ways that respect the community
  • Public Places and Civic Spaces, which considers design that creates and enhances special areas in the public realm
  • Urban Elements, focused on design elements that bring uniqueness to a neighbourhood or space
  • Visions and Master Plans, a forward-looking category concerned with inspiring ideas and guiding plans for the future
  • Student Projects, which recognizes theoretical or studio projects submitted by university students

The Urban Renewal of the North Perimeter Wall on Parliament was recognized in the Urban elements category. As the Jury described it, this is a project of national significance that shows design doesn’t need to be avant-garde to express a pride of place. This project goes beyond urban elements and becomes a transformative public place, reinforcing one of the most important walks in the City, around parliament on the escarpment.

While, there were no Awards of Excellence handed out in the Vision and Master Plans category, three awards of merit were handed out.

All Award of Excellence winners will represent Ottawa in competition for the 2018 Royal Architectural Institute of Canada’s Urban Design Awards program.
