The fate of cities and the fate of humanity are intertwined. 

Recognizing this, in 2015, the world leaders committed to “making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable” through SDG 11 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 

The current report, at the midway point of the 2030 Agenda, is the second time that global progress with SDG 11 is being assessed. The first report was produced in 2018 – check it out here. [link to 2018 SDG11 report]

The current report shows that the world is off track in achieving SDG 11. Rescuing SDG 11 is urgent for the sake of present and future generations. The report points to the immense opportunities that exist and the innovations that are already underway. 

The report was prepared by UN-Habitat as a lead coordinator, with inputs from several UN custodian agencies, other UN entities, civil society, academia, United Cities and Local Governments, and various other stakeholders and partners.
