Three young practitioners have been selected as the winners of the AJ/RPS Urban Design Scholarships. These scholarships, initiated by the AJ, aim to raise the level of expertise in the key field of urban design among architectural practitioners.
Joe Morris of Duggan Morris Architects, Fiona Scott of Gort Scott Architects, and Alicia Pivaro beat a field of nearly 100 applicants to win the opportunity to work with a mentor from Design for London, the Greater London Authority's urban design and architecture adviser, on a project of their choice for up to six months.See interviews with the winners and photos from the awards evening.

The awards were preceded by a symposium at the RIBA, chaired by AJ editor Kieran Long. Speakers tackling the question 'what is urban design?' were Mark Brearley, of Design for London, Colin Bloch from RPS, Jeremy Grint from the London Borough of Barking and Robert Mull from London Metropolitan University.
The AJ will follow the progress of the three winners over the next six months, both in the magazine and online.
