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]
