The challenges cities and communities face can be overcome in ways that allow them to continue to thrive and grow, while improving resource use and reducing pollution and poverty. The future we want includes cities and communities with opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and more. Read more about this goal here.
