SDG 11 - SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES
SDG 11 aims to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. More than half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas, and this number continues to grow. SDG 11 emphasizes the importance of providing affordable housing, efficient public transportation, green spaces, and effective waste and pollution management. It also highlights urban planning that considers disaster resilience and community participation. Sustainable urban development ensures a balance between economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being.
