SDG-11 sustainable cities and communities
Cities are hubs for ideas, commerce, culture, science, productivity, social development and much more. At their
best, cities have enabled people to advance socially and economically. With the number of people living within
cities projected to rise to 5 billion people by 2030, it’s important that efficient urban planning and
management practices are in place to deal with the challenges brought by urbanization.
Many challenges exist to maintaining cities in a way that continues to create jobs and prosperity without
straining land and resources. Common urban challenges include congestion, lack of funds to provide basic
services, a shortage of adequate housing, declining infrastructure and rising air pollution within cities.
Rapid urbanization challenges, such as the safe removal and management of solid waste within cities, can be
overcome in ways that allow them to continue to thrive and grow, while improving resource use and reducing
pollution and poverty. One such example is an increase in municipal waste collection. There needs to be a future
in which cities provide opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation
and more.
