Title

Sustaining Urban Excellence: Learning from the Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence 1987-1993

Description

The Rudy Bruner Award seeks to discover and celebrate outstanding urban places, while serving as a forum for debating urban issues and the nature of urban excellence. The projects presented in this book include the winners from he first award cycle in 1987 through 1993. While each of the winners represented innovation and success when they were recognized by the Rudy Bruner Award, time is the ultimate test of viability. As the Award proceeded it therefore became important to ask:

-How have these urban places withstood the test of time?

-How have they evolved in the face of changing circumstances?

-What do these places have to teach us when viewed as a whole?

In order to answer these questions, the Bruner Foundation, with assistance from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, undertook to revisit these finalists. This book documents the findings of those visits, and offers important observations about the challenge of sustaining urban excellence.
