WHAT IS THE WORLD HABITAT DAY?1
With the human population of the world growing at ever increasing rates and space at a premium, the United Nations created Habitat Day to promote awareness of the importance of ensuring that everybody has access to adequate shelter and accommodation.
Previous themes included: “Shelter for the
Homeless” (1987); “Our Neighborhoods”
(1995); “Future Cities” (1997); “Safer
Cities” (1998); “Women in Urban
Governance” (2000); “Cities without
Slums” (2001) and “Water and Sanitation
for Cities” (2003).
World Habitat Day was first
celebrated in 1986 with the theme
“Shelter is my right”. Nairobi was
allocated as the host city for the
observance that year.
