Ludhiana, October 5, 2015: Young architects celebrated Habitat/Architects day today, which was attended by many leading professionals. Architects present in the meeting discussed in detail the plan to alter the systems which emphasize poverty housing as well as planning affordable housing for all. Architects welcomed the decision of Modi Government to create 100 smart cities in India in coming years and specially three cities from Punjab that is Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Amritsar.
World Habitat Day is observed every year on the first Monday of October throughout the world. It was officially designated by the United Nations and first celebrated in 1986 with the theme “Shelter is My Right”. This annual event is held with a new theme each year. Theme of 2015 is “Public Spaces for all”. The purpose of the day is to reflect on the state of our cities and towns and the basic human right to adequate shelter. It also aims to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the habitat of future generations.
World Habitat Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, including in places such as Angola, China, India, Mexico, Poland, Uganda and the United States. Various activities around the world are organized to examine the problems of rapid urbanization and its impact on the environment and human poverty. Activities may include awards ceremonies, including the “Habitat Scroll of Honour” award which acknowledges initiatives that make remarkable contributions to fields related to human habitats.
