World Town Planning Day is celebrated in 30 countries on four continents each November. It is a special day to recognize and promote the role of planning in creating livable communities.

This year World Town Planning Day is November 8, 2016.

World Town Planning Day presents an excellent opportunity to look at planning from a global perspective and for planners around the world to consider planning challenges and solutions around the globe on that day.

24 Hour Worldwide Online Conferences
Established in 2009, the online conference was started by a group of planning professionals from around the world that wanted to create an international celebration of World Town Planning Day.  Over the years it has grown to be an annual event, and every year our audience grows, and it has built to be a key event for planners around the world to attend.

This year’s conference will consist of a series of seminar sessions hosted by various reputable planning institutes and associations. Each session will be seamlessly streamed from all around the world through an application called Periscope.
