World Habitat Awards applications are now being accepted for 2023. The Globe Habitat Awards recognize and spotlight remarkable, ground-breaking, and occasionally ground-breaking housing initiatives, concepts, and programs from all across the world.
Over the years, more than 360 exceptional World Habitat Awards projects have been recognized, showing significant, long-lasting improvements in living circumstances.

Since 1985, World Habitat has operated the World Habitat Awards competition in collaboration with UN-Habitat. During that period, some of the most impressive and creative housing developments in the world have won awards on a global scale. The most exceptional initiatives and programs will get Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards this year.

Award:

The two GOLD Award-winning projects receive:

- follow-up support from World Habitat through their exChange programme.
Silver and Bronze Award-winning projects receive a certificate, the opportunity to partner
