World Habitat

At World Habitat, we work across the world to identify and share great housing solutions that improve the living conditions of people with few housing choices. We do this by exchanging new ideas, supporting interaction and collaboration, and sharing and promoting good practice to people who can use it.

As part of our activity, we run the World Habitat Awards which find the best people-centred international housing practice. The Awards are presented at a high profile international event each year in partnership with UN-Habitat. We carry out activities to share knowledge and enable the spread and evolution of best practice including exchange visits and longer term programmes.
