Last year's winner: Capacitycheck (awarded to Urban Design Skills)

What the winners said: 

“We have been amazed at how widely Capacitycheck is being used less than a year after its publication. Capacitycheck seems to be meeting a real need among people and organisations wanting to assess their placemaking capacity and to draw up plans to increase it.”
