The day is expected to greatly stimulate the international community's interest in global urbanisation, promote cooperation among countries to address the challenges of urbanization and opportunities to contribute to sustainable urban development worldwide. Urbanization offers the potential for new forms of social inclusion, including greater equality, access to services and new opportunities, and connectivity and mobility that reflect the diversity of cities, countries and the world.
