World Cities Day brings Urban October to an end on 31 October each year and was first celebrated in 2014. The day serves as both a celebration of urban innovation and a platform for cities to learn from each other's successes in addressing common urban challenges.
On 31 October 2025, the Global Observance of World Cities Day, will be hosted by Bogota with the theme People-centred Smart Cities. It will showcase how data-driven decision making, technology, and AI can be used to improve urban life and recover from current shocks and crises. It will also focus on promoting smart city initiatives centred on people.
