World Urbanism Day was established in 1949 by Carlos Maria della Paolera, a professor at the University of Buenos Aires who was a graduate of the Institut d'Urbanisme in Paris, to advance public and professional interest in planning. It is celebrated annually on 8 November, and is recognised in more than 30 countries on four continents. Paolera designed a symbol for the day in the shape of a flag whose top half is blue, and the bottom half green, respectively standing for air and land, and with a bright gold sun in the middle. == See also == Urbanism Urban planning New Urbanism Institut d'Urbanisme de Paris (French Wikipedia) == References == - [[Environmental Design/Daylighting Design]] - [[History and Theory/World History]] - [[History and Theory/World History/Ancient Architecture]] - [[History and Theory/World History/Classical Architecture]] - [[History and Theory/World History/Contemporary Architecture]] - [[History and Theory/World History/Medieval Architecture]] - [[History and Theory/World History/Modern Architecture]] - [[History and Theory/World History/Renaissance and Baroque]] == External links == American Planning Association: World Town Planning Day World Urbanism Day from WN Network
