AWARDS

Launched in 1959, the Civic Trust Awards is one of the oldest built environment award schemes in Europe. From cafes and churches to housing and hospitals, the Civic Trust has rewarded over 5,500 buildings which have made a difference to local people and their communities by providing the design and facilities which have made better places for people.

The Civic Trust Awards are unique. They recognise the best in the built environment, from architecture to planning, townscape to infrastructure, but they are about so much more than this. They recognise the public realm in its wider context, and our continuing belief that development should be for the benefit of people, those who use it, and those who just pass by.

The winners are not simply architecturally advanced, exciting, innovative or striking. They are also of benefit to their local community, and the organisers strive to ensure that every entry is assessed by a local person, whose role is to canvass and represent the views of the people who use or see the building as part of their environment.
