New York City has won the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize this year for its urban rejuvenation since the devastating Sept 11 terrorist attacks more than a decade ago.

The award will be given to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the Departments of Transportation, City Planning and Parks and Recreation in July, during the World Cities Summit 2012 in Singapore.

Chairman of the prize nominating committee Kishore Mahbubani said: 'The city of New York is an inspiring story of urban rejuvenation. With bold vision, strong leadership, sheer determination, and excellent partnership between government and citizens, there is now a new sense of direction in the city.'

He was speaking at the Raffles Hotel on Wednesday.

New York has a GDP exceeding 1 trillion USD and sub 20 million population. Bloomberg and New York is free to reject or ignore the award. Give you something think about. If Assad offered an award to US for best R&D country to Obama, you think Obama will accept? If North Korea offers an award for the best environmentally friendly technology inventions to Japan, you think Japan will accept? What is more interesting is when it gets accepted, what is the quid pro quo?
