About Lewis Mumford Awards
ADPSR Lewis Mumford Awards 
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.
ADPSR is pleased to announce our 2010 Mumford Award Winners:
Critical Resistance seeks to build an international movement to end the Prison Industrial Complex by challenging the belief that caging and controlling people makes us safe. They believe that basic necessities such as food, shelter, and freedom are what really make our communities secure. ADPSR has worked with Critical Resistance in establishing our Prison Alternatives Initiative, and is very proud to honor their tireless work for justice. www.criticalresistance.org
Architecture 2030, a non-profit, non-partisan and independent organization, was established in response to the global-warming crisis by architect Edward Mazria in 2002. 2030’s mission is to rapidly transform the US and global Building Sector from the major contributor of greenhouse gas emissions to a central part of the solution to the global-warming crisis. Their goal is to achieve a dramatic reduction in the global-warming-causing greenhouse gas emissions by changing the way buildings and developments are planned, designed and constructed. www.architecture2030.org
The Chez Panisse Foundation envisions a public school curriculum that includes hands-on experiences in school kitchens, gardens, and lunchrooms, and that provides healthy, freshly prepared meals as part of each school day. The Foundation has four main programs: School Lunch Reform, with a model program at the Berkeley Unified School District; The Edible Schoolyard, a model garden and kitchen program on the grounds of Martin Luther King Junior Middle School in Berkeley; and The Edible Schoolyard Affiliate Network, a small network of model programs which demonstrate that the Edible Schoolyard can succeed in a diverse set of climates and communities. www.chezpanissefoundation.org and www.edibleschoolyard.org
