Are we building cities for the future - or leaving it behind? 🏙️ A sustainable city prioritizes inclusive and sustainable urban spaces where communities can thrive as outlined in #SDG11. Yet, according to the 2023 SDG 11 Synthesis Report, we are not on track to meet most of these targets by 2030 unless there are major shifts in urban policy and investment. As urban populations continue to grow to more than double its current size by 2050, now is the time to act and shape the future of our cities. Join our dialogues at #WUF12 to highlight the local actions our cities need to take for a sustainable future 🌍 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dE-RsKHZ 👉 World Urban Forum #SustainableCities #UrbanDevelopment #ClimateAction #Urbanization
