About World Town Planning Day On World Town Planning Day, held annually on 8th November, planners, and communities all over the world come together to celebrate how good planning improves the lives of people and benefits society at large, creating vibrant places to live, work, and play together. Argentinian professor Carlos María della Paolera started World Town Planning Day in Buenos Aires in 1949. This year marks the 76th anniversary of the event. On or around the 8th of November 2025, planners globally will celebrate World Town Planning Day with lectures, school competitions, fundraisers, events, and planning awards. It is an opportunity for associations and institutes representing planners across the world to unite and promote planning as an important tool for global sustainable development and climate action. The theme for World Town Planning Day 2025 is ‘With Planning We Can!’. This year on World Town Planning Day, with other members of the Global Planners Network we are celebrating how good planning empowers communities and provides pathways to prosperity for all. We are shining a spotlight on the contributions of planning, showcasing projects and initiatives that have led to positive impacts for our cities and communities across the globe. From delivering the right homes and in the right locations; linking services and infrastructure to the places where we live, work and play; to working with nature to address urban heat or manage water challenges; and, to working with multiple stakeholders to bring collective solutions for better outcomes for all. We want success stories: reports of innovations, breakthroughs, promising new ideas, but also lessons from planning programs that fell short. When possible, we should show planning as the tool which makes the ideas of elected officials, or the work of other professions become reality.
