THE METROPOLIS AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING PROJECTS

For the first time in 2002, during the 7th congress in Seoul, outstanding projects of Metropolis member cities were awarded. In the future, this is to happen on a regular base in the course of the triennial congresses. The Award is to go to member cities responsible for exemplary projects relating to environment, education, health, housing, public transport and jobs creation. The Award is to help spread information on the projects.
