Shrewsbury wins the Great Town / Small City Urbanism Award 2024

SY Homes was recognised for our key role in Shrewsbury's winning entry into the Academy of Urbanism Awards 2024 at an evening of celebration in January 2025.

Shrewsbury was the winner of the Great Town / Small City award 2024, beating strong competition from Bath, Somerset and Lewis, Sussex.  Members of the Academy of Urbanism voted after touring each town in the Autumn.

It was a real compliment to be asked by Town Councillor Helen Ball and her team at @shrewsbury_town_council as they presented to the judges the best of Shrewbury's town improvements, infrastructure and new housing.  We hosted the judges on our site at Old Coleham where they were particularly interested in our approach to the local environment and flood challenges, plus the complex engineering.
