The world’s population is constantly increasing.To accommodate everyone, we need to build modern, sustainable cities. For all of us to survive and prosper, we need new, intelligent urban planning that creates safe, affordable and resilient cities with green and culturally inspiring living conditions.
Things to do
- Find a Goal 11 charity you want to support. Any donation, big or small, can make a difference!
- Support a project in slums for safe housing. You can volunteer in slums to help with building houses, fixing existing ones, setting up public or green spaces.
- Shop, eat and drink locally. Supporting neighbourhood businesses keeps people employed and circulates money back into your community.
- Take advantage of your right to elect the leaders in your local community.
- Commute in a sustainable way – bike, walk or take public transport. Save the car trips for when you’ve got a big group.
- Take care of public spaces. Start yourself and inspire others to contribute to better public spaces – water the greenery, trim and plant trees, renovate sports areas and playgrounds, organize a cleanup.
