HISTORY:
World Town Planning Day was founded in Argentina by Professor Carlos María della Paolera in 1949, the year he also founded the Instituto Superior de Urbanismo at the Universidad de Buenos Aires.
His aim was to "advance public and professional interest in planning both locally and abroad" and create "a special day to recognise and promote the role of planning in creating liveable communities.“ That said, WTPD fell into decline after Professor della Paolera died, except in Turkey, which observed it alone for 20 years.
It was revived in 1995 by the International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISoCaRP), and has been promoted steadily ever since, notably by Charles Lambert Hon MRTPI. By its 50th Anniversary in 1999, it was marked in about 30 countries all over the world.
