Description
1) Objective
The World Habitat Awards recognise and highlight innovative, outstanding and sometimes revolutionary housing ideas, projects and programmes from across the world. More than 360 outstanding World Habitat Awards projects have been recognised over the years, demonstrating substantial, lasting improvements in living conditions.
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.
They 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. All entries are subject to a thorough assessment process and around 10 projects are evaluated by an independent advisory group of housing experts. Evaluation visits are made to four projects before recommendations are presented to a panel of external judges, including the Executive Director of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT).
2) Eligibility
The Awards are open to all individuals, organisations or governments who have addressed housing challenges.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
Each year two winners receive £10,000 each and a trophy, presented at a global UN-Habitat event.
5) Application
Entries to the World Habitat Awards are now open until 3 March 2024.
