Glenwood Park Receives
Distinguished Award
June 2003
 TSW's Glenwood
Park has been recognized by the Congress
for the New Urbanism (CNU) in its 2003 Charter Award program.
The Charter
Awards exist to recognize the best practices in the world of
New Urbanism. The Charter of the New Urbanism is a difficult taskmaster.
Very few projects manage to fulfill all, or even most, of its principles.
The winners of the Charter Awards must demonstrate that they do
an exemplary job of following the principles of New Urbanism.
With its focus on urban design, the Charter Awards are dramatically
different from most architecture awards. Most awards assess buildings
in a vacuum, neglecting the context of the surrounding environs.
The Charter Awards look at how plans and projects respond to and
integrate with their environment and, consequently, how they improve
the human experience of blocks, neighborhoods, and regions.
Glenwood Park was awarded in the "Neighbhorhood, District,
and Corridor Category." This represents the first time a neighborhood
in Georgia has received this prestigous award.
