The World Cities Day

This year, 31 October will mark the very first ‘World Cities Day’. To be celebrated every year on the same day, this UN initiative is expected to promote the international community’s interest in global urbanisation and encourage cooperation between countries in working towards sustainable urban development.

The inaugural World Cities Day will be celebrated under the theme ‘leading urban transformations’ in recognition of the efforts underway – and the obstacles that remain – to ensuring that urban places can overcome the challenges to sustainable and inclusive development.
