World Habitat Day is celebrated annually on the first Monday of October. This day was established by the United Nations in 1985 to raise awareness about the importance of adequate housing and sustainable urban development. The day highlights the shared responsibility of governments, communities, and individuals to improve urban living conditions and make cities more inclusive and safer. The first World Habitat Day was held in 1986, and it has since been marked by global events and the awarding of the UN’s Habitat Scroll of Honour, which recognises efforts to enhance urban environments.
The theme for World Habitat Day 2024 is “Engaging Youth to Create a Better Urban Future”. This year focuses on empowering young people to actively participate in urban planning and sustainability efforts. The aim is to harness the energy and creativity of youth to address the challenges of rapid urbanisation and shape cities that are inclusive, and environmentally sustainable.
