The United Nations (UN) specified the first Monday of October of every year as World Habitat Day in order to reminisce on the state of our habitats and the fundamental right of all to adequate shelter. World Habitat Day aims to remind the world that we all have the capability, power, right, and responsibility to shape a better tomorrow for our cities and towns.



World Habitat Day's concept is to mirror the state of our towns and cities and the fundamental right of all to adequate shelter. The days aim to remind the world and people of its collective responsibility toward the future of the human habitat.
