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.
As our world urbanizes at an unprecedented pace, young people, particularly in Africa and Asia, are becoming a prominent portion of urban populations. This year’s observance will explore ways to actively involve new generations in shaping their urban environments through participatory processes and leadership opportunities at the local level.
