The 2024 European Prize for Urban Public Space has exceptionally incorporated a Seafronts category to address the challenges that coastal cities will have to face in the coming decades owing to the climate crisis. The Jury, chaired by Beth Galí, has chosen five finalists from among 44 works presented in the Seafronts category.

The teams responsible for the five works selected as finalists met at the CCCB to present their projects to the jury in a session open to the public and led by the Prize secretary, the architect Lluís Ortega.
