Experts in the field tell us that the global South will see a process of increased, stronger urbanisation as people migrate from traditionally agricultural areas to urban areas. This will be accompanied by exponential population growth. This phenomenon of urbanisation is often caused by the search for new opportunities for life and work in cities to abandon conditions of poverty and hardship in which human rights are strongly compromised. The social role of the architect is fundamental in this process in which architecture becomes the instrument for social transformations and to improve people’s quality of life. Architecture and the built environment become the space in which people exercise their rights.

The UIA, through the Community Architecture and Human Rights (CA+HR) Work Programme, has launched a call for submissions for the 2023 Compendium of Best Practices. This compendium is developed to highlight the importance of collaboration between architects and local communities in the design process, through the lens of the UN SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). It will reflect the virtues and merits of Community Architecture and Human Rights.

The submitted projects will be part of a digital book and will be selected for an exhibition organised by the CA+HR Work Programme during the UIA World Congress of Architects in Copenhagen, Denmark from 2-6 July 2023.
