Today is celebrated as World Cities Day (October 31st 2025-10-30T18:30:00Z). This day is designated by UN to promote community cooperation to sustainable urban development around the world
. Coincidentally, today is also Halloween Day
; so let’s make it a treats, not a tricks for our planet and cities.
HALO Smart Waste Bin
This year’s theme is People Centred Smart Cities which emphasizes on using technologies and our creativity to make our cities inclusive, sustainable and welcoming.
How can we celebrate this day with sustainability? 
Local guides play a sustainable role for highlighting efforts towards better cities. Here’s some ways our fellow local guides celebrates and contributes :
- Promote Effective Waste Segregation
- A clean City starts with proper waste management. @SharmaK’s post, Small Bins, Big Impact – A Step Toward Sustainable Cities highlights usage of dry and wet waste bins in our cities which aligns with Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) and sustainability cities. - Highlighting City Cleanliness and Infrastructure
- The presence of good public infrastructure is crucial and an important part of sustainable cities. @TusharSuradkar’s post, Sustainability and Cleanliness - New York Wins Big shows how visible and maintained recycle bins
and clean public transit
are a key factor for the city’s commitment to a greener future. - Encourage the value of Longevity and Reuse
- Sustainability also means making things last. @SonamW’s post, Living Vintage in a Techno Savvy World illustrates how old and functioning phone booths
and post boxes
can be put forward to modern lifestyle which showcases value of reusability and minimising wastes in the cities.
Share in the comments 
- What is one interesting infrastructure (recycle waste bins
or eco friendly public transit
) in your cities that makes a big impact on sustainability? Do you contribute those towards Google Maps? - How are your cities valuing old architecture
or infrastructure
in a sustainable way?
Let’s contribute towards sustainable cities that point towards Inclusivity and Eco Friendliness! You can also share beautiful photos of your cities that you cherish in your memories.
