This goal envisions sustainable, livable urban centers with universal access to green spaces.* This focuses energy and finding solutions to the increasing amounts of slums and urban decay, while using models from more sustainable cities to develop a more functional city space.
Asking yourself what you can do to help the UN reach their goal?
On
a National level: Recycle. Create your own garden or join a community garden. Become more externally involved in your community. Understand and become active in civic engagement, on local, state, and national levels.
On a International level: Volunteer or donate to programs like http://practicalaction.org/slum-improvement-1 that actively support and provide services to slum residents. The adoption of these practices, slum upgrading and land tenure create a more sustainable outcome than other slum solutions.
