The World Cities Day is being observed today across various countries with the theme “People-Centered Smart City,” emphasizing sustainable urban development and global cooperation.
The United Nations-designated observance highlights the crucial role of cities as centers of human progress and development, while encouraging collaboration among nations to address urban challenges.
A special global event is being held today in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, in line with the UN’s call to mark the occasion.
First celebrated in 2014, World Cities Day features special programmes in different host cities each year. The main objective is to promote international cooperation in creating sustainable, inclusive, and resilient urban environments, particularly amid growing concerns such as housing crises and infrastructure strain.
With the world rapidly urbanizing, the need for sustainable city planning and development has become more pressing than ever. According to the United Nations, more than half of the global population now lives in urban areas, underscoring the importance of well-managed cities for a better future.
