In 1992, ADPSR instituted an annual Lewis Mumford awards program to honor people and organizations that exemplify ADPSR’s goals of peace, preservation of the natural and built environment, and socially responsible development. Lewis Mumford’s writings continue to inspire and remind us that architecture, design, and planning, must respond to human needs, harmonize with its surroundings, and reflect the aspirations and social context of our civilization.

We are proud to honor the winners of the 2007 Mumford Awards:

Peace	Environment	Development
People's Institute for Survival and Beyond	Coalition to Restore Coastal Lousiana	Neighborhoods Partnership Network

The award sculptures are unique works of art by Mississippi artist Lori Gordon, made from pieces of debris left by the storm.  Please visit http://thekatrinacollectionbylorikgordon.blogspot.com/  for more information.
