1. Background
Urban LGs have to be critical partners in ensuring that the SDGs achieved
Firstly, increasing trend
of urbanisation needs
special attention
Secondly, access to local
data and information is
critical to track progress
Global urban population
was 751 mln in 1950 and
4.2 bln in 2018 (UN DESA)
Around 65% of targets
and 157 indicators require
urban policy responses
(UN, 2016)
Thirdly, the SDGs-with the pledge to LNOB-make
their implementation a challenging task
This growth is expected
to continue- from 55 % of
global population in 2018
to 68% by 2050 (UN DESA)
Of 169 targets, 21% can
be implemented with
local stakeholders; 24%
with local actors; and a
further 20% needs
orientation towards local
urban actors (Dick, 2016
The 2030 Agenda also includes a standalone
goal for cities
