The Toolkit & the SDGs
The Rapid Planning Toolkit has been designed to directly address the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the aspirations of the New Urban Agenda.
Goal 11
Sustainable Cities and Communities
This goal has been identified as best connected to the other goals and therefore planning to accomdate the phenomenon of rapid urbanisation is the most direct way to in part target all SDGs.
The Toolkit helps you to meet SDG 11 by collaborating across professions and involving all stakeholders to draft a City Growth Charter and implement a rapid growth plan in order to create a sustainable city and community.
