The New Urban Agenda (NUA)44 was launched at Habitat III45 in Quito, Ecuador, in 2016. Its aim is to respond to Goal 11 of the Sustainable Development Goals to make cities safe, inclusive resilient and sustainable. The New Urban Agenda provides a framework for achieving sustainable urban development. Less than 50% of respondents report that their governments have embraced the New Urban Agenda while only a quarter report having an effective implementation plan and only 2 respondents report having a body responsible for delivery of the NUA.
