GOAL 11: SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES

"Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable"

Sustainable Development Goal 11 is divided into 10 targets and 14 indicators at the global level. The number of slum dwellers reached more than 1 billion in 2018, or 24 per cent of the urban population.[6] The number of people living in urban slums is highest in Eastern and South-Eastern Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Central and Southern Asia. In 2019, only half of the world's urban population had convenient access to public transport, defined as living within 500 metres' walking distance from a low-capacity transport system (such as a bus stop) and within 1 km of a high-capacity transport system (such as a railway). In the period 1990–2015, most urban areas recorded a general increase in the extent of built-up area per person.
