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).
