The 2008 FT ULI Sustainable Cities Awards

The FT ULI Sustainable Cities Awards recognize outstanding and innovative programs that advance the application of sustainability principles to land use and thereby promote their incorporation in cities and in the general real estate industry. Award-winning programs will have global relevance, will add strategic value to companies and communities, and will enhance the environment. Programs submitted for consideration must be implemented and showing results, or they must be provoking significant new ideas and perspectives.

Eligibility
• Entries may originate anywhere in the world.

• They may be the work or inspiration of individuals (non-posthumous), organizations, governments and their agencies, and companies.

• Membership in ULI is not a requirement.

• Only programs—related to real estate and sustainability—are eligible.

• If the purpose of the program was to initiate a project, the program—not the project—will be the focus of your entry.

• The following describe the types of strategic real estate programs that this award will recognize:

o Corporate strategic programs

o Public agency initiatives o Non-governmental organization (NGO) programs

o Private development company initiatives

o Technological advances in practice and design

o Educational, certification, and research programs

o Investment firm/fund programs

Criteria
The jury will apply the following criteria in choosing winners:

1. Innovative practices in sustainable development that establish new models.

Entries should be state of the art in all aspects of their concept and implementation.

2. Implementation must be in place.

Programs entered need not be completed, but must be more than pilot programs.

3. Documentable evidence that program goals are being achieved.

Entries must be able to show that goals are being met according to schedule. Use the milestones and metrics that are standard in your industry, and if a financial result was one of the programmatic goals, some measure of financial success must be demonstrable.

4. Lessons learned that have broad applicability.

Entries must demonstrate global responsibility by sharing lessons they have learned that can help inform future endeavors by others.

5. Contribute to reducing climate change.

One of the goals or a result of your program must be the minimization of factors that contribute to climate change.

6. Demonstrate excellence when compared to similar program types.

Each winner will be among the best examples of its type.

Jury
The jury comprises seven internationally-recognized experts in the sustainability and environmental fields.
