SDG Cities, a brand under UN-Habitat, is dedicated to creating a better quality of life in a rapidly urbanizing world. With a vision of inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities and communities, SDG Cities works with partners to reduce inequality, discrimination, and poverty through urbanization. Their mission involves four main roles: think, do, share, and partner.

They set standards, propose norms, and conduct groundbreaking research to shape policies that promote sustainable cities and human settlements. Through technical assistance, they implement projects and provide tailored support to countries. They also mobilize public support, influence policy frameworks, and inspire qualitative change in sustainable urban development through advocacy and outreach.

Collaboration with governments, organizations, academic institutions, and the private sector is integral to their approach. Recognizing the critical role of cities in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SDG Cities facilitates global collaboration to help cities accelerate their progress and improve quality of life. By offering a comprehensive range of tools, support hubs, strategic partnerships, and certification, SDG Cities empowers cities to become sustainable, resilient, and impactful.

Their goal is to reach 1000 cities and positively impact 1 billion lives by 2030. For those seeking a brighter future, SDG Cities is your partner on this transformative journey
