Alfred Herrhausen Gesellschaft - Das internationale Forum der Deutschen Bank - Deutsche Bank Urban Age Award

In awarding this prize, Deutsche Bank distinguishes since 2007 the partnerships of responsibility existing between citizens, politicians, business people and NGOs that are contributing to improving the quality of life in cities

The Deutsche Bank Urban Age Award was set up to encourage people to take responsibility for the cities they live in. It is conferred each year in the city in which the Urban Age Conference takes place.

Urban Age is a series of conferences jointly initiated in 2005 by Deutsche Bank’s Alfred Herrhausen Society and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). (Further information can be found on: www.urban-age.net)

The Deutsche Bank Urban Age Award was conferred for the first time in Mumbai in 2007, São Paulo in the following year and Istanbul in 2009.

The $ 100,000 prize is judged by an independent, international jury that reviews submissions following an open call for entries. Submissions for the Istanbul award will be accepted following an announcement in April 2009.
