It contributes to the following sub-goals:<\/p>\n
6.1: By 2030, ensure universal and equitable access to clean and affordable water for all
\n6.3: By 2030, improve water quality to reduce pollution by minimizing the release of chemicals and hazardous materials, halve the proportion of untreated wastewater, and substantially increase recycling and safe reuse globally

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, durable and sustainable<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nGlobal urbanization is one of the most significant developments of the 21st century. More than half of the world’s population lives in cities, a percentage that is expected to increase to 70% by 2050. It is cities that drive local and national economies, as centers of prosperity where more than 80% of global economic activity is concentrated.
\nNew technologies make it possible to build a network to monitor mobility and people flows, to ensure safe and integrated coordination of cities during times of conviviality and cohesion. The benefits are numerous: they affect the economic apparatus of the territory, helping to provide access to safe, accessible transport systems; they achieve integrated and sustainable urbanization, providing universal access to safe public spaces; they enhance understanding of cultural heritage.<\/p>\n
CONTRIBUTES TO THE FOLLOWING SUB-GOALS:<\/p>\n
11.2: By 2030, provide access to safe, accessible, and sustainable transport systems for all, improve road safety, in particular by expanding public transport, with particular attention to the needs of those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with disabilities and the elderly
\n11.3: By 2030, improve inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries
\n11.7: By 2030, provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible green and public spaces, particularly for women and children, older people and people with disabilities
