Summary
On 7 October 2024, the Global Observance of World Habitat Day, will be under the theme "Engaging youth to create a better urban future." The world is rapidly urbanizing, and many urban residents these days are young people, especially in some countries in Africa and Asia. It will focus on how we can engage the new generation in planning their urban present and future through participatory processes and local leadership opportunities.
