Happy World Habitat Day 2025

Happy World Habitat Day, 6 October, 2025. 2025 Theme: "Urban crisis response". This theme focuses on addressing multiple crises affecting urban areas, including climate and conflicts, that are contributing to inequality, and promotes existing tools and approaches to effective crisis response.

Furthermore, this theme highlights sustainable, scalable, and transformative solutions to urban displacement that help stabilise populations, while promoting prosperity and fostering social cohesion for all. It will put the spotlight on the importance of urban and territorial planning, inclusive urban governance, and the role of local governments.

Always remember that cities are the driving force of civilisations, they are engines of growth. Throughout history people have come from rural areas to move to cities to realise their dreams of a better life. Often this dream is not realised. Therefore, let's together make all the cities in the world sustainable, for current and future generations.
