About this event

About this session

SDG 11 calls on us to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. This session will showcase actions and research that place the voices of diverse communities at the heart of sustainable urban development. Through presentations from expert practitioners and researchers, we will explore development challenges in Havana, London, Kisumu and Delhi, and reflect on how collaborative research with communities and local authorities can help respond to them. This will be followed by a live Q&A session.
