An online submission form, which is to facilitate the submission of potential projects for the DIA Best Practices Award, has been recently made available at www.bestpractices.at/submission. The deadline for submissions is Saturday, March 31, 2012.

As the regional UN-HABITAT centre, the Best Practices Hub, Vienna identifies innovation and success in the implementation of urban programmes as part of the UN-HABITAT Best Practices Programme. This worldwide call for proposals is intended to determine how cities and municipalities deal with the requirements of increasing urban growth, the role of urban systems in climate policy and with planning tasks aimed at creating a sustainable and socially just city in order to support the objectives of the DIA Best Practices Award, the best practices database and the further work of UN-HABITAT.
