The World Habitat Awards were established in 1985 by the Building and Social Housing Foundation as part of its contribution to the United Nations International Year of Shelter for the Homeless.
Two awards are given annually to projects that provide practical and innovative solutions to current housing needs and problems: one for a project in the global north and the other for a project in the global south.
Every year an award of £10,000 is presented to each of the two winners at the annual United Nations global celebration of World Habitat Day. Travel and accommodation costs are also met for one representative of each winning project to attend the awards ceremony.

THE CONSTANT GARDENER

Following to the movie´´the city of gods´´ within Fernando Mireilles retraces the reality of a lost city in Bresil, the Constant Gardener portraites the relations between North and South.
It demonstrates how a situation in Africa becomes worse through the international power influence. Beyond the fiction of the story, the movie can´t leave you indifferent as it shows some realistic views of slums in Naerobi, and reminds you how much it affected Africa.
