April 23, 2026 – Each year, the United Nations reviews select SDGs to assess global progress. In 2026, UN-Habitat will lead a comprehensive review of SDG 11 to assess progress towards achieving “inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable” cities and settlements worldwide.

Listen as authors from the most recent issue share more insights from their article, dive deeper into the theme, and take members’ questions live.

In a rapidly changing global environment, the visibility of SDG 11 cannot be taken for granted. Continued reporting, storytelling, and evidence from planners are essential to demonstrating its value and relevance. This is why the Commonwealth Association of Planners is calling on Canadian planners to showcase the work they are doing to advance SDG 11 and to reaffirm the importance of its renewal.
