Find details below from http://sev.prnewswire.com/environmental-services/20080207/DC1363807022008-1.html# for the change in deadline to 31 March for submissions to the Financial Times Urban Land Institute Sustainable Cities Award.

“The FT/ULI Sustainable Cities Award has global relevance since nominations will be invited worldwide. The announcement of up to seven winners will be the closing highlight of the first-ever Sustainable Cities conference, which will be jointly hosted by the Financial Times and the Urban Land Institute in London on June 16, 2008.

The Sustainable Cities Award acknowledges exceptional examples of sustainable land use models that exhibit significant new ideas and perspectives for future practice, rather than simply celebrating past achievements. The winning initiatives will demonstrate success in advancing the market’s understanding and acceptance of the concept of sustainable development. This may be reflected in economic, social and environmental sustainability.”
