It is understood that "World Cities Day" is the first international day with the theme of cities decided by the United Nations, and it is also the only international day initiated by the Chinese government so far. On the occasion of the closing of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, the Organizing Committee of the World Expo, the United Nations and the Bureau of International Exhibitions jointly issued the Shanghai Declaration, proposing to designate the closing day of the Shanghai World Expo on October 31 as "World Cities Day" to inspire mankind to pursue and strive unremittingly for the innovation and harmonious development of the city. With the theme of "Better Cities, Better Life" at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, World Cities Day has always inherited this concept, paying attention to various issues in the process of urbanization and promoting the sustainable development of cities around the world. At present, World Cities Day has been widely recognized at home and abroad, becoming an important platform for countries to share their experience in urban governance and seek sustainable urban development, and also provides an important platform for cooperation in the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the New Urban Agenda.
The 2021 World Cities Day China Main Event and the First Global Conference on Sustainable Urban Development, co-hosted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Shanghai Municipal People's Government and UN-Habitat, with the theme "Addressing Climate Change and Building Resilient Cities", was held in Shanghai from 30 October to 1 November.
As a release channel for the deployment of housing and urban-rural construction systems, a platform for the exchange of advanced experience, and a display window for innovative practice achievements, It is of great significance for China Construction News to host the 2021 "World Cities Day" China Main Event and the First Global Conference on Urban Sustainable Development of China's Cities Forum.
