NUA Won 2020 ISOCARP Merit Awards for Excellence

Nua won their first international award from the International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP). The 2020 Merit Award for Excellence had been given to NUA for their project “Rectreefying Bogor City 2030”.

According to the Jury, The Merit Award is bestowed upon Nusantara Urban Advisory’s plan, RECTREEFYING Bogor City, 2030, for the integrity and cultural sensitivity of this comprehensive plan. The planning team pegged the plan for the Bogor City downtown district revitalisation to a critical sustainability goal, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and addressing the increasing impacts of the urban heat island effect on the urban environment.

The neighborhood-level progressive urban greening and cooling strategy not only incorporates green and blue infrastructure and low impact development strategies in a series of green corridors, but takes a human-centered approach that integrates a robust community engagement effort and economic development interventions that respond to community needs and informal economies. The project embraces the challenge of working within existing urban conditions, and balances feasibility and forward-thinking ideas to ensure long-term sustainability goals will be met.
