*Debut: New Exhibition on Urban Transformation*

After the Awards Celebration, please join us for a cocktail reception and the debut of a special retrospective exhibition, presented in partnership with the Yale Hixon Center for Urban Sustainability, " *HOW TO MAKE A CITY: The Next Decade of Urban Action*."

The exhibition draws lessons from 25 pioneering projects across five Prize cycles to illuminate a diversity of working solutions and cross-thematic lessons on how to accelerate and deepen transformative change everywhere.

*We look forward to seeing you next Monday in New York to explore what’s possible — and what’s next — for healthier, more livable cities.*
