The Global Book Prize ($500), new for 2026, will be awarded to the best book on city and regional planning history whose focus is outside the United States and Canada.
Transnational histories that include the United States or Canada are also eligible but may be nominated only for this prize or the Lewis Mumford Prize, not both.
For the current awards cycle, books must have a publication date between August 1, 2023 and December 31, 2025.
To nominate a book, authors or presses should send one hard copy each to the three committee members, postmarked no later than the nomination deadline of December 31, 2025. (Electronic submissions [ebooks, PDFs] will not be considered.) For shipping addresses please email committee chair Jennifer Mack (jennifer.mack@arch.kth.se).
Committee: Jennifer Mack (chair; jennifer.mack@arch.kth.se), Isabelle Gournay, and Brian Ladd
