World Town Planning Day is
celebrated in 30 countries on four continents each November. It is a special
day to recognize and promote the role of planning in creating livable
communities.
World Town Planning Day presents an excellent opportunity to
look at planning from a global perspective, and APA encourages its members to
consider planning challenges and solutions around the globe on that day.
The American Institute of Certified
Planners (AICP) endorses World Town Planning Day as a strategy to promote a
broad-based awareness, support, and advocacy of community and regional planning
among the general public and all levels of government through activities in
recognition of American accomplishments on World Town Planning Day of each
year.
Program History
The international organization for
World Town Planning Day was founded in 1949 by the late Professor Carlos Maria
della Paolera of the University of Buenos Aires to advance public and
professional interest in planning, both locally and abroad.
