AL AIN, United Arab Emirates (Reuters) - An urban park in Denmark to promote tolerance between immigrants and local residents and a mosque in a flood-prone area of Bangladesh were among winners of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture on Monday.

The $1 million prize is awarded every three years to honour architectural projects that address the needs of societies in which Muslims have a significant presence.
