PREFACE





                                              An important global development is the growing urbanisation which has given
                                              rise to radical change in urban and architectural layout of cities. The living
                                              environment is seen to be continuously evolving and changing, whereby role
                                              of urban professionals in facilitating this transformation in a way that meets
                                              the new evolving Urban lifestyle becomes crucial.


                                              With a specific purpose to honour the creative works of architects, planners
                                              and to create  awareness amongst urban professionals who are partners in

                          supporting a smooth transformation of the cities, HUDCO instituted the HUDCO Design Awards
                          in 2012. Through HUDCO Design Awards 2021, HUDCO once again undertook to acknowledge
                          the projects among creative and influential professionals, on the major themes and concepts that
                          structure the discourse of human settlements in the urbanising world.


                          It has been indeed very heartening to have professionals participate wholeheartedly despite the
                          trying situation owing to the Novel Coronavirus-COVID19. The winning projects are inspiring
                          examples  of innovative  interventions,  demonstrating interconnectedness  and  interdependence
                          between man and nature, for a safe and sustainable future. The compilation of winning entries has
                          been done with the sole objective of disseminating knowledge and creating awareness amongst the
                          young urban professionals for adaptation and replication of innovative ideas.


                          I congratulate all the winners and urge urban professionals to continue their committed efforts
                          towards the cause of promoting sustainable, innovative and eco-friendly development. I congratulate

                          and compliment all those who worked hard in a time bound manner towards making this event
                          successful.
