The UIA Friendly and Inclusive Spaces Awards were established to promote inspiring buildings and sites that have created socially sustainable environments through high quality architectural design.

Award categories:

1. New buildings
2. Refurbished existing buildings, including historic buildings
3. Public and open spaces
4. Research undertaken by architect(s) on the theory or practice of universal design
