Goal 11. Make cities and populated areas inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
Modern cities are the most glaring proof of scientific and technological progress, so urban development issues are a global topicality attracting the attention of researchers around the world. Most of the world’s resources are consumed in cities, which are home to the majority of the planet’s population. Cities as the driving force of economic development, culture and innovation centers attract people to live, learn and work. At the same time, the concentration of people creates serious challenges for urban development professionals. Environmental and cultural heritage conservation, housing, mobility and infrastructure, employment and social problems – a wide range of issues illustrates the multidisciplinary, complex character of urban development.
