World Habitat Day is celebrated on the first Monday of October each year. Established by the United Nations in 1985, this day aims to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable urban development and the right to adequate housing. It encourages governments, organizations, and individuals to reflect on the state of our cities and the fundamental right to a safe and secure living environment. Each year, World Habitat Day focuses on a specific theme related to urban issues, such as housing, infrastructure, and sustainability. Events and activities are organized globally to promote discussions and solutions for improving living conditions, particularly in rapidly urbanizing areas.
