City planners should think about everything: transportation and accessibility, safety, clean air, proper water, good infrastructure such as roads and bridges, communications, and so on.

World Urbanism Day was founded in 1949 by Professor Carlos Maria della Paolera of the University of Buenos Aires, a graduate of the Institute of Urbanism in Paris, to promote the public and professional interest in urban planning.

On this day there are professional conferences on urban planning in more than 30 different countries.

The profession of city planning has changed over the years because of changes in the climate, needs of the population and more.

The father of urban planning was Hippodamus, who had planned Miletus, a city in ancient Greece.

Did you know that a great way to teach your kids about city planning is to let them play in Minecraft? In this game you learn to design structures in a public space and it is a good start to learn about the impact of good planning of buildings on the quality of life of the residents.

Miners Day- December 6

Miners' Day is the day of the people involved in mining, the hard and dangerous work of producing raw materials for industry that is needed for modern production.
Miners are actually the ones who help to exploit the natural resources, they are the workers who produce materials that we use, sometimes essential and sometimes for luxuries.
Gold, coal, diamonds, iron, gems, lead, limestone, nickel, phosphol, salt, tin, uranium, bauxite, molybdenum. In terms of expansion, mining also includes production of water, natural gas and oil.

We are not always aware of where the things we use come from. We just think we buy them somewhere and don't give a thought to who finds them. Who digs in deep tunnels at great risk to find diamonds or coal or cut into the mountains in the blazing sun?

Mining is a dangerous but very important profession. Miners' Day recognizes the hard and dangerous work they do and rewards them for their dedication.

 

December 6 is also Constitution Day in Spain and Finland's Independence Day
