SDG11: Sustainable cities and communities
By 2050, about 70% of the world population will live in urban areas. To accommodate everyone in a sustainable and human way, significant shifts in the mindset of planning and construction of cities must take place. Achieving this objective requires bold action to ensure affordable and sustainable housing and public transportation in every city, to protect the world's cultural and natural heritage, and to reduce the adverse effects of natural disasters.
