The city of Pittsburgh Planning Department has won honors from the American Society of Landscape Architects for its Sector Neighborhood Asset Planning, or SNAP, effort, which brings detailed data to bear in charting neighborhoods' futures.
"It's amazing that Pittsburgh was competing with urban areas across the globe, and we again came out on top," Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said Monday in a news release.
ASLA gave its Award of Excellence in the planning category to Kigali, Rwanda, and joining Pittsburgh as Honor Award winners for planning were Hangzhou, China; Brooklyn; Northern Singapore; Aspen, Colo.; Poverty Bay, New Zealand; Pasadena, Calif.; Fez, Morocco; Seattle; Philadelphia; and Haarlemmermeer, Netherlands.
