World Habitat Day, observed on the first Monday of October each year, serves as a global platform to contemplate the state of our habitats and emphasize the fundamental right of every individual to have access to adequate shelter.
This year World Habitat Day observed on 2nd October. In the year 2023, this day takes on a special significance as urban economies around the world grapple with unprecedented challenges.
Against the backdrop of a declining global economy, exacerbated by the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and conflicts, World Habitat Day 2023 focuses on the theme of “Resilient Urban Economies: Cities as Drivers of Growth and Recovery.”
