The sustainable development goals

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

SDG 11 aims to make cities and settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. It is divided into 10 sub-goals that deal with public space and its distribution, the transport sector and traffic safety, participatory, integrated and sustainable, people-centred settlement planning, the reduction of emissions and particulate matter, access to safe, integrative green and public spaces especially for women and children, the elderly and people with disabilities, resource efficiency, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and urban resilience.
