Cityscape, the international property investment and development event and the Architectural Review, have teamed up for a third successive year to present the Cityscape Architectural Review Awards.

Under the theme “Design For An Emerging World,” the awards aim to recognise and promote excellence in architecture and design in the developing world from the Middle East, Africa, Central & Eastern Asia, Australasia (excluding Japan, New Zealand and Australia) and South America.
Eligible entries for the awards ceremony, which takes place on December 4 at the Nad Al Sheba Club, Dubai, will be separated into two broad categories: first, buildings, which have already been completed and second, projects that are incomplete or may be even still on the drawing board. The actual awards themselves have been split into five distinct categories: commercial/mixed-use, community – which includes religious and public buildings, leisure, residential and transport.
In addition a number of special awards will be bestowed by the judges, which include The Environmental Award, given to the one completed project that above all others, embraces specific environmental issues.
The Islamic Architecture Award will be awarded to the project that shows particular empathy and understanding for Islamic values.
The Master Planning Award is dedicated to the scheme the judges feel is the best master-planned community.
