Established in 1963 and based in Cambridge, MA, the
Bruner Foundation
seeks to create opportunity and instigate meaningful social change. The
Rudy
Bruner Award for Urban Excellence (RBA), created
in 1987, is a biennial award that celebrates transformative places
distinguished by physical design and their social, economic, and contextual
contributions to our nation’s cities. The
organization shares information and advances national dialogue about urban
placemaking through the
Bruner-Loeb Forum, hosted in partnership with Harvard’s Loeb Fellowship and
sponsors working in cities across the nation.
