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]
Entries to the Awards are encouraged from housing projects and programmes that:
include: income generation; social inclusion; community and individual empowerment; health benefits; capacity building and or education.
