Sustainable Cities and Communities
Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11) focuses on creating sustainable cities and communities.
It recognizes that urban areas are central to addressing various global challenges and aims to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
Cities are hubs for ideas, commerce, culture, science, productivity, social development, and much more; they have enabled people to advance socially and economically.
However, many challenges exist to maintaining cities in a way that continues to create jobs and prosperity without straining land and resources.
In Nigeria, successive government regimes commenced numerous development commissions, agencies, and departments to foster development at local, regional, and national levels.
But these government strategies have failed due to poor integration of essential variables such as culture and or poorly coordinated community development activities.
Again, lip service on the part of the government has proven to be one of the challenges in developing sustainable communities.
At ROE, we collaborate with stakeholders in ensuring more efficient public transportation, walkable and bike-able neighborhoods, advocate for solar energy, green buildings, food production, accessible public resources, water conservation, disaster management, infrastructure monitoring, search and rescue operations, smart waste management system, and tree planting.
