Henri Prost along with Tony Garnier, Léon Jausseley, and Ernest Hébrard is considered as a pioneer of the French urbanism. His ideas and architectural plans were representative of the first generation of French urbanists with all their achievements and limitations. In 1902, Prost made a design drawing of a national printing office in Italy and was subsequently awarded with the [[Prix de Rome]] scholarship. His plans for the restoration of the [[Hagia Sophia]] in [[Constantinople]] received a medal at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1912. Prost was the co-founder in 1911 of the Société française des urbanistes (SFU) with architects Donat Alfred Agache, Mr. Auburtin, A. Bérard, [[Eugène Hénard]] ([[Architect of the City of Paris]]), [[Léon Jaussely]], A. Parenty, engineer Jean Claude Nicolas Forestier and the landscape architect Edouard Redont.<ref>Membre du comité scientifique et auteur des articles sur Élie Azagury, Gaston Bardet, Eugène Beaudouin, Georges Benoit-Lévy, Marius Boyer, Alexandre Chemetoff, Michel Écochard, Jean Claude Nicolas Forestier, Tony Garnier, Eugène Hénard, Gaston Jaubert, Léon Jaussely, Jean Labatut, Marcel Lods, André Lurçat, Henri Prost, Charles Siclis et Jean-François Zevaco in Carlo Olmo, dir., Dizionario dell'architettura dell XX secolo, Turin, Umberto Allemandi, 2000.</ref> He became a member of the Central Society of Architects in 1930.
