It rewards graduation theses written in Dutch institutions in the areas of Urbanism, Spatial Planning, Urban Design and other disciplines concerned with the built environment. The awarded thesis must show a central concern with issues of Spatial Justice, Governance, Participation and Democracy and must demonstrate academic
