THE 2024 SDG 11

Urban growth and population living in urban areas in recent decades has continued to increase. According to the United Nation in 2018 as many as 55% of the world’s population live in urban areas, and the trend continues to increase and is projected to be 68% in 2050. According to the World bank (2020) 80% of GDP is also generated in urban areas, so with the increase in population in urban areas, planning Urban growth plays an important role in realizing sustainable development.

Urban growth and the population in it will have an impact on increasing energy consumption, the need for energy supply, water, infrastructure, settlements, transportation and spatial planning for the comfort and security of settlements as well as the potential for pollution that will be caused.

In Indonesia itself, countries and cities that are still growing and growing require good preparation for urban growth, anticipating the provision of clean land and water and guarding against air pollution. The big challenge is spatial planning so that the use of space in urban areas is not only comfortable and safe, but also access to basic services and balance the use of space. Poor management and planning of urban growth has the potential to contribute to the production of solid and liquid waste, air pollution and the emergence of slums.
