Abstract

This chapter, being the first of three empirical cases, discusses the role of awards and prizes in the field of urban development activities, a domain that includes the collaborative efforts of heterogeneous actors and that demand considerable finance capital investment, and that are dependent on stable political relations over at least the project period, and preferably longer. In this setting, awards being issues by, e.g., industry interest organizations may serve an active role in conferring authority and legitimacy to key actors. Specific attention is paid to the role of the award-giving organization, whose interests to entrench a central role as a legitimate quality assessing agent, should not be neglected or underrated when examining the sharp growth of awards and prizes in the contemporary period.
