SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
March 2023
To achieve SDG 11 and realize its promise of building sustainable and resilient cities and local communities, the Arab Sustainable Development Report 2020 identified recommendations to strengthen people-centred urban planning and integrated spatial policies, to build a better urban governance framework, and to ensure the sustainable management of natural resources.
Those recommendations, in addition to strategic directions for incorporating human rights-based approaches, remain relevant to Arab countries’ efforts to build back better in the post-COVID era and bolster urban resilience against future shocks.
