The annual Deutsche Bank Urban Age Award celebrates the Urban Age mission that connects quality of life to the quality of the urban environment. Created to encourage people to take responsibility for their cities and form new alliances, the award will be given to projects and initiatives that improve the physical conditions of their communities and the lives of their residents.

An independent jury drawn from an international community of urban leaders, designers, business, media and civic actors will evaluate all submissions and determine the winner of the $100,000 prize. The deadline for submissions is 11 September, 2009.

The Deutsche Bank Urban Age Award will be presented in İstanbul, Turkey, on 4 November 2009 to coincide with the Urban Age Conference in İstanbul on 5-6 November 2009. On this occasion the award will recognise a project located in the wider metropolitan area of İstanbul, the Urban Age 2009 focus city.

The award is an initiative associated with the Urban Age project, an international investigation in cities organised by the London School of Economics and Political Science and Deutsche Bank’s Alfred Herrhausen Society
