The PhD research by Ignacio Gal\u00e1n receives a special mention in the Manuel de Sol\u00e0-Morales European Prize 2025 for doctoral theses in urbanism.<\/p>\n
Every two years, the Manuel de Sol\u00e0-Morales European Prize recognizes the best university research in the field of urbanism carried out by a student granted a PhD.
\nThe award honours the memory of professor in urbanism, and architect, Manuel de Sol\u00e0-Morales Rubi\u00f3 (1939-2012), who understood his subject as a creative and intellectual activity, committed to improving cities through what he called \u00abpersistent research.\u00bb The award seeks to give continuity to, and expand his vision of, the field; as many disciples and admirers have demonstrated since the first publication issued in tribute to him Papers D\u2019UR n\u00fam. 03\/2012.
\nThe award is an academic initiative of the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB) at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) where he taught for more than forty years. The Barcelona Urbanism Laboratory (LUB) which he founded in 1969, organizes, oversees and facilitates the development of the award and the maximum dissemination of the works which receive it.<\/p>\n
During this fifth edition of the prize, out of 68 PhD theses submitted, from 43 European universities in 17 different countries, the jury selected 8 finalists, from which they chose one winner and four special mentions.<\/p>\n
