The World Habitat Awards recognise and highlight innovative, outstanding and sometimes revolutionary housing ideas, projects and programmes from across the world.
A project in Brussels that develops and provides permanently affordable housing for people on low incomes and a housing rights project in Beirut that provides an online reporting tool to monitor and respond to housing injustices, including evictions, are the Winners of this year’s World Habitat Awards. The two Gold Awards go to “Introducing Community Land Trusts in Continental Europe”, Belgium and “Housing Monitor” from Lebanon.
Alongside the Gold Awards, two Silver and four Bronze Awards were presented to initiatives from Bhutan, the UK, Argentina, Indonesia, Mexico and the United States.
These world housing prizes are organised by World Habitat in partnership with UN-Habitat.
