Urban Land Institute accolade goes to Poland

The Manufaktura trade-and-entertainment centre in the city of Lodz has won the 2007 Award for Excellence from the Urban Land Institute. The Manufaktura was opened last year in a 19th-century post-industrial site comprising 13 former factories. It includes hypermarkets, a shopping gallery, restaurants, pubs and cinemas. A hotel and an exhibition space is to open next year. The Award for Excellence is one of the most prestigious architectural distinctions. The remaining awards went to projects in the United States, China, and France.
