THE 10 FINALISTS

Outdated high-rise buildings are deconstructed and the recovered materials reused to build sustainable, modern social housing units, with low carbon footprints.

Vienna Repair Voucher

A voucher scheme subsidises the costs of repairs, encouraging consumers to fix old items instead of throwing them away and buying new ones.

green.LAB Graz

Brownfield sites in cities are transformed into usable spaces with portable, ‘green’ urban boxes.

Alpine Lamb Project

Four-legged lawnmowers, called sheep, are keeping ski slopes in good shape over summer and prevent erosion, overgrowth, and avalanches.
