The biennial award, which recognises outstanding contributions towards the creation of vibrant, liveable and sustainable urban communities, is organised by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and the Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC).
In a statement on May 7, URA and CLC said Mexico City stood out for its ability to address many complex urban challenges and achieve transformational progress within a relatively short time of five years.
The jury citation for the prize said the Mexican capital's successful implementation of initiatives within a short period reflects not only the city's capability to kickstart new policies, but also the commitment to see through their completion quickly.
