This course aims at providing you with a deeper understanding of the reasons why the United Nations chose to focus on Sustainable Cities and Communities as an important goal for sustainable development. In Unit 1, we look at the issues cities around the world are facing. In Unit 2, we focus on the targets set under this goal and the progress made so far. In Unit 3, we go around the world to see what different countries, cities, and communities are doing to become more sustainable. Finally, in Unit 4 we give you the opportunity to take the reigns and become the champion of Goal 11.
What would your ideal city or living community look like? More skating ramps, larger parks, better malls? Goal#11 actually takes all of these big ideas into consideration and relates them to safety, sustainability, resilience and inclusivity. This course gives you a glimpse into the future of cities (that is actually already here) and an eye-opener about cities that are actually slowly killing its inhabitants.
