MIPIM has announced that 44 real estate projects from 22 countries have been selected as finalists for the MIPIM Awards 2017.
Reflecting the global reach of the awards programme, the finalists' projects, which were picked by an 11-member jury, are located in Asia/Pacific, North and Latin America, Africa and Europe.
Organised by Reed MIDEM, the MIPIM international real estate fair will be held in Cannes from 14-17 March 2017.
The jury, chaired this year by John Forrester, CEO EMEA of Cushman & Wakefield, reviewed the 214 entries from 46 countries and shortlisted the top four projects in each of the 11 competition categories.
'The quality is rising every year and the level of sustainable development and sustainable design is also rising, but with this year’s submission, we saw a real social aspect to the responsibility of how projects impact their communities,' Forrester said. 'In every continent of the world we saw some projects which were really regenerating the social as well as the economic area in which they were being developed,' he added.
