Any project qualifies for the award if it would create or significantly expand or enhance an area where residents and businesses can conduct their everyday activities without the presence of or neeed for personal motorized transport. The project may be anywhere in the world and will be judged in its local context on the extent to which it represents a pioneering, large step toward minimizing dependence on automobiles.
