At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
World Cities Day, as the name suggests, is celebrated worldwide.
World Cities Day can be celebrated by any and all informed citizens of the countries wherein cities and urbanization have played a major role in providing adequate housing for human settlements. On this day, people also focus on important aspects such as sustainable development.
World Cities Day was officiated on December 27, 2013. The first World Cities Day celebrations were therefore held on October 31, 2014.
World Cities Day was started by the United Nations General Assembly. The primary vision that the United Nations General Assembly had behind the officiation of this global observance day was to promote and help urban development and tackle the issues pertinent to urban areas in the world.
The historical timeline behind the start of World Cities Day and the events that led to the creation of this day follow a very straight trajectory.
The traditions that surround World Cities Day include addressing issues such as climate change and climate-related disasters. The sub-themes help in concentrating on a certain topic which is helpful as well.
If you want to observe World Cities Day, the most important thing to do would be to first find the sub-theme for the year. For the year 2022, the sub-theme is linked to Inclusive, Vibrant Neighborhoods and Communities. On this global observance day, make sure to learn some facts on this topic and the relevant challenges in terms of urban-rural development.
The sub-theme for the year 2020 was Valuing Our Communities and Cities.
This day celebrates the benefits of urbanization such as social inclusion.
Helsinki, Finland is the cleanest city in the world, as of 2021.
Singapore is the top safest city in the world as of 2021.
As an outcome of the Shanghai International Expo 2010, the UN General Assembly designated every October 31 as World Cities Day.
