SDGs

By spreading awareness, supporting local businesses, volunteering, and adopting sustainable habits, individuals can actively contribute to building inclusive, resilient, and sustainable cities in line with SDG 11.

Forced slum demolitions displace communities and disrupt livelihoods, while in-situ upgrading preserves residents’ homes, social networks, and dignity, offering a sustainable, cost-effective solution for inclusive urban development.

SDG 11 promotes sustainable urban development by reducing climate vulnerability, conserving resources, managing waste, and ensuring equitable access, creating greener, resilient, and inclusive cities for the future.

SDG 11.1 emphasizes safe, affordable, and inclusive housing as a foundation for sustainable cities, aiming to reduce inequality, improve health, empower communities, and foster resilient, environmentally responsible urban development by 2030.

Strong government leadership, through sustainable mobility, inclusive housing, climate resilience, and participatory governance, is essential for transforming cities into safe, equitable, and sustainable urban spaces in line with SDG 11.

SDG 11 is foundational to global development, as sustainable, inclusive, and well-planned cities directly advance climate action, health, education, economic growth, poverty reduction, and gender equality.
