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.
