Shaping Fair Cities

What is it about?

“Shaping Fair Cities” highlighted the role that cities and sub-national governments need to play in the implementation of SDGs and Agenda 39. Focusing on SDG 11 (sustainable cities and communities) and 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions), the project promoted a critical understanding of Local Authorities’ (LA) and citizens’ roles and responsibilities in relation to the interdependent world. It focused on the importance of effectively involving LAs in Agenda 2030 to ensure that local policies are in line with the principle of “Policy Coherence for Development”.
