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).

To motivate employees and students of TU Dortmund University to travel by bicycle, two new secure bicycle parking lots are now available.

As part of its sustainability strategy, TU Dortmund University has set out to create secure bicycle parking lots at the university in order to increase bicycle mobility on campus.

In addition to the bicycle parking lot with 84 spaces under the Mensa bridge (see below location A), which has been in operation since April 2023, two new lots have been built. The first lot is located at the, North Campus in the P1 Chemical Engineering parking lot (see below Location B). The second flot is located on the South Campus between GB II and GB III (see below location C). The two new lots each offer 20 spaces. All three lots can now be opened and closed with any transponder. This service is available to all employees by default. Students can request a transponder for the lots using this form and will receive a response in a timely manner. Transponders are issued at Emil-Figge-Strasse 71 via the Department of Construction and Facilities Management. If there are problems with the transponders when opening or closing the lots, please contact the Department 6 by mail.

In addition, the bicycle hub from the InnaMoRuhr research project is now permanently located at the small parking lot at the EF50 building.
