08 November - World Town Planning Day

 

World Town Planning Day is an annual event celebrated on November 8th each year. It was established to promote and raise awareness about the importance of urban and regional planning in creating sustainable, well-designed, and livable communities. This day provides an opportunity for planners, architects, policymakers, and citizens to come together to discuss and address the challenges and opportunities related to urban and regional development.

World Town Planning Day was first initiated by Professor Carlos Maria della Paolera of the University of Buenos Aires in 1949. Since then, it has grown into a global event celebrated in many countries, often with various activities, seminars, workshops, and community engagement initiatives. The focus of the day is on sharing knowledge and ideas for better urban planning and the creation of more inclusive, resilient, and environmentally friendly cities and regions.

The themes and activities associated with World Town Planning Day vary from year to year but generally revolve around topics such as sustainable urban development, transportation planning, housing, environmental conservation, and social inclusion. It serves as a reminder of the critical role that urban and regional planning plays in shaping the future of our cities and communities.
