Good Practice Transfer

Introduction


The World Habitat Awards were established with the aim not only of identifying innovative and sustainable examples of housing practice but also of sharing and transferring the award-winning approaches where possible and appropriate. 

BSHF works to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and experience through a range of knowledge-sharing activities, including community exchange events and international study visits carried out each year to the World Habitat Award winning projects.

International Study Visits

An international study visit to the Community Programme for Neighbourhood Improvement project in Mexico will be carried out from Sunday 5th August until Saturday 11th August 2012.
The international study visit to the Ekostaden Augustenborg project in Sweden has now taken place and ran from Monday 16th May until Friday 20th May 2011.

Other Exchange Activities
