Sustainable Cities and Communities

United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11 is about Sustainable Cities and Communities. SDG 11 focuses on “Making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Cities represent the future of global living, with over half of the world’s population living in urban areas as of 2022, a number expected to rise to 70 percent by 2050. However, rapid urbanization has led to challenges such as inadequate housing, infrastructure, and services, resulting in the proliferation of slums.” Innovations like “Smart city technologies for efficient urban management” and “Green building initiatives for sustainable infrastructure” are aiding in reaching the targets. For a detailed analysis, stay tuned for our case study on innovations in SDG 11, releasing very soon.
