For a distinguished example of „Urban Design“ the new town of Brandevoort is one of the first INTBAU Excellence Award-winning projects. Prof. Robert Adam (ADAM Architecture and INTBAU UK) conferred the award on Christoph Kohl at a ceremony held at the inaugural INTBAU World Congress: Local Solutions to Global Challenges which took place in London on 18th and 19th February 2015.
The first INTBAU World Congress: Local Solutions to Global Challenges took place in London on 18th and 19th February 2015. Designed to build on INTBAU’s track record of international conference activity, the World Congress’ programme of special events attracted media and public attention to the individuals, businesses and communities around the world who work to create sustainable solutions to the modern challenges of urban life.
INTBAU’s Patron, HRH The Prince of Wales, hosted a report-back session to conclude the World Congress, which strengthened delegates’ and the INTBAU network’s commitment to further action.
