The United Nations has designated the first Monday each October as
World Habitat Day.
( Learn more about the problem )The theme for World Habitat Day 2009 is "
Planning our Urban Future"
Celebrations of World Habitat Day in Washington, D.C. will be an excellent opportunity to foster global discussion and raise the profile of shelter and urban issues at the national and international level. Events in the United States and around the world include policy forums, award presentations, luncheons, dinners, house-building and exhibitions.
