This week's coverage of the
Urban Design and Architecture Awards competition by Mark McNeil and Dean Tweed in the Hamilton Spectator was very good - and way better than the coverage of the Toronto Urban Design Awards in the Toronto Star!
If you didn't get a printed copy of Tuesday's Hamilton Spectator, you can view photos, an excellent map with descriptions, and an article on the Urban Design Awards on p. 31 of The Spec's online print version (see also the top of the front page):

The City of Hamilton will announce the award winners at a
celebration at the Art Gallery of Hamilton on November 10.
In case you're interested: Toronto announced its award winners two weeks ago (see
article in the Toronto Star and the
report of the jury). Urban Design Awards competitions are held every other year in seven cities across Canada, and almost half of these cities are in the GTA: Toronto, Mississauga and Hamilton. Mississauga holds
its Urban Design Awards competition every year and, like Hamilton, is currently reviewing nominations. Winners of the municipal competitions automatically participate in the
National Urban Design Awards competition, which will be held in 2012.
