World Habitat Awards
The World Habitat Awards were established in 1985 by the Building and Social Housing Foundation[1] as part of its contribution to the United Nations' International Year of Shelter for the Homeless in 1987.[2][3]
Two awards are given annually to projects from the Global South as well as the North that provide practical, innovative and sustainable solutions to current housing needs,[3] which are capable of being transferred or adapted for use elsewhere.[1]
Overview
Entries to the Awards are encouraged from housing projects and programmes that:
- demonstrate practical, innovative and sustainable solutions to current housing challenges;
- can be transferred or adapted in other countries across the world;
- are already being implemented or are completed i.e. not at design stage or in the very early stages of development; and
- view the term habitat from a broad perspective and bring a range of other benefits. We particularly encourage entries from projects and programmes that are addressing the climate emergency. Other benefits of interest to us
include: income generation; social inclusion; community and individual empowerment; health benefits; capacity building and or education.
