The UIA joins its Member Sections around the globe in celebrating World Architecture Day 2024 (WAD) whose theme is Architecture for the future generation

The theme underlines the important role of young architects in designing the cities of tomorrow and their contribution to urban transformation.

The aim is to design greener, more environmentally-friendly cities, while promoting sustainable economic growth.

It will also be a valuable opportunity to celebrate the innovative projects of young talent, whose bold architectural solutions have transformed and revitalised local communities.

WAD was celebrated by a number of  UIA Member Sections around the world: 

Created by the UIA in 1985, World Architecture Day is celebrated annually on the first Monday of October in parallel with the United Nations’ (UN) World Habitat Day.

The theme of the 2024 World Habitat Day is “Empowering the next generation to participate in urban design”.
