The United Nations has created 17 goals and "provides a global blueprint for dignity, peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and in the future." "The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. The 17 Goals are all interconnected, and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve them all by 2030."

While all the goals are important for cities since more and more people move to the urban areas, number 11 "make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable" is of particular importance to planners and designers.
