November 8th is World Urbanism
November 8th is World Urbanism Day. The celebration was proposed by Professor Carlos María della Paolera, an Argentine architect who founded the first institute of urban studies at the University of Buenos Aires. In 1949, he established World Urbanism Day with the aim of drawing attention to urban and planning issues affecting cities around the world. Since then, the date has been celebrated in several countries and encouraged by urban associations, professionals in the field and educational institutions, especially in Latin America, where it had its roots.
