The International Planning History Society (IPHS) endeavours to foster the study of planning history worldwide. It seeks to advance scholarship in the fields of urbanism, history, planning and the environment, focusing particularly on cities from the late nineteenth century. In 2000 a biennial book prize (the winner of which will be announced at the Society's biennial conference) was instituted to recognise research excellence in planning history. Subsequently a second prize recognising planning history scholarship connected to a host city/region was inaugurated. In 2004 two new prizes were inaugurated: for the best paper by a postgraduate student delivered at the Society's biennial conference and for the best paper on planning history published in the preceding two years in Planning Perspectives. In 2009 a new prize in East Asian Planning History was introduced to encourage young scholars of East Asia (under 40 years old) to engage in planning history and to publish their work in English.

IPHS EAPH PRIZE WINNER 2010 The 2010 EAPH Prize was awarded to Dr Miao Xu for her paper 'Design History of China's Gated Cities and Neighbourhoods: Prototype and Evolution' in Urban Design International, 13 (4), pp. 213-216, a paper composed with Dr. Zhen Yang. The EAPH Committee with regards to the award to Dr Miao state: "The paper received the East Asia Planning History Prize because it is a very solid paper that has made an important contribution to the understanding of the design history of China's gated cities and neighbourhoods and how it influences the design of gated neighbourhoods in contemporary China. The paper was published by the reputable journal, East Asia Planning History Prize. Two main features of gated neighbourhoods from the more than 2000 years old pre-1949 feudal period; the socialist period from 1949 to 1978; and to the post-socialist era after 1978 were identified by the paper. One is the culture of collective living with territorial control and the other is the introverted housing compound with buildings and walls deployed around communal outdoor spaces. It concluded that although the spatial forms of all gated communities present an universal similarity in terms of the general 'fortress' like image, detailed physical features may vary a lot to fit the very specific socio-economic urban contexts. Although deeply ingrained in Chinese housing tradition and the history of urban design, gated community in China today is economically sensitive, especially to housing management. In addition, Dr Chen Yu, Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture, National University of Singapore is designated as an 'honorable mention' award for worthy scholarship not selected for the Prize for her work: 'The Making of a Bund in China: The British Concession in Xiamen (1852–1930)' in Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering (ISSN: 1347-2852), 2008, Vol. 7, No. 1, pp. 31-38. The reason is as follows: The paper provides new insight into the development of the British Concession in Xiamen, the Amoy Bund between 1852-1930, placing it in the context of other treaty ports in China. This detailed account is based on little known sources that contribute to the larger theoretical discussion of colonialism and the export and import of planning ideas."
