SDG11: SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES

Cities are centers for ideas, trade, culture, science, production, and social development, playing a crucial role in enabling social and economic integration. To achieve this, support must be mobilized to persuade policymakers to include information access in national and regional development plans.
