World Town Planning Day is observed annually on November 8. This day was set aside to commemorate the important role planning and structuring play in the creation of our communities. Town planning is one of the most important parts of creating our organized, livable communities, and this act gained full recognition when this day was founded in 1949 by late professor Carlos Maria della Paolera. World Town Planning Day also goes by the name “World Urbanism Day.” The holiday seeks to encourage community planning by paying heed to environmental factors involved in progressing a town.
