Making cities and settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities

The goal is divided into several sub-goals. SDG 11 resolves to improve access to safe, affordable housing and transport systems (11.1 + 11.2). Special attention should be paid to older people or people in precarious situations or with disabilities, as well as women and children. Overall, urbanisation should be made more inclusive, planned in a participatory manner and take into account world cultural and natural heritage sites (11.3 + 11.4). Reduce per capita urban pollution, air quality and waste treatment, and significantly reduce deaths and affected people due to disasters (11.5 + 11.6). Promoting access to safe and inclusive green public spaces is a goal (11.7).

At the same time, national and regional development planning should be promoted and social as well as ecological links between urban and rural areas strengthened (11.a). Policies and plans to promote the above measures in cities and settlements are to be increased by 2020 and the aim is to support least developed countries through financial and technical assistance in the construction of sustainable buildings using regional materials (11.b + 11.c).

The H-Bahn is running and is surrounded by trees in autumnal colors.

One goal of the sustainability strategy is to increase the number of job tickets for public transport to 500.

In cooperation with DSW21, TU Dortmund University of Technology offers its employees the opportunity to obtain a job ticket / major customer ticket. This ticket is valid for the whole week for as many journeys as you like, even in your free time, around the clock in the selected area of validity in public transport.

By purchasing a large quantity of tickets, the individual ticket price is reduced. The TU's sustainability strategy aims to increase the number of job tickets to 500. Switching to public transport primarily reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to using a car.
