IDEAS FOR ACTION
SDG 11: Make cities and human settlements
inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
City and regional governments need to be empowered constitutionally:
legally, fiscally, and with institutional capacity.
• Urbanization will have a massive impact on countries’ ability to
develop sustainably
• In some countries much of the urbanization is slum-led and
undermines sustainable development
•
•
Productive cities are the key to decent jobs, employment for all, and
thereby the reduction of poverty
Sustainable infrastructure is essential for development, job creation
and environmental quality, but needs a wider frame of effective land and
labor markets, city government led regulation, and vibrant city economy
IDEAS FOR ACTION
SDG 11 is Critical to:
• Promote integrated approaches (infrastructure, services, housing)
• Enhancing urban planning that promotes youth participation,
gender equality, compact cities and healthy rural settlements;
• Strengthening resilience to reduce the loss of lives, assets,
housing and infrastructure to natural disasters;
• Preventing slums by ensuring equitable access to affordable,
durable housing, basic services; and land tenure security;
• Providing access to affordable housing and affordable and
accessible transport for shorter, safer, and healthier commutes
