The Framework for Dignity in the Built Environment guides action to minimize human rights risks and to maximize opportunities for people, throughout the built environment lifecycle. 

The Framework is grounded in international human rights standards and the Sustainable Development Goals. 

It recognizes that no single actor alone can generate better outcomes in the built environment, but that everyone has roles to play - both directly, and through their leverage over others. 

This survey is gathering stories of the Framework "in action", for inclusion on the Building Transformation StoryMap. A write-up summarizing your responses will be shared back with you for approval before publishing on the map.
