SDG 11 Hub: Sustainable Cities & Communities

Sustainable cities and communities are essential for a sustainable future. United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 'Sustainable Cities and Communities' aims to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. This goal calls for action to improve urban planning and management; provide access to basic services, such as water and sanitation; reduce urban poverty and inequality; promote sustainable transport and energy; and protect and restore urban ecosystems.

If you care about your work contributing to achieving the SDGs, then you should work with a publisher that shares that commitment. Springer Nature, steadfastly focused on the SDGs, is that publisher. Publishing your SDG 11-linked research with Springer Nature will amplify its reach, impact and influence.

More than half of the world's population live in increasingly dense cities and communities, a proportion that is expected to rise in the years to come. At Springer Nature, we aim to provide a home for impactful research that brings sustainable solutions to pressing urban issues. We work with research communities globally to encourage global dialogue and accelerate action.
