81 The New Urban Agenda (NUA) was launched at Habitat III 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. 78% respondents report that their governments have embraced the New Urban Agenda, which is a large increase of the 2017 survey results of less than 50%, while only 58% report having an effective implementation plan (thought this is again an improvement on the 2017 survey results of 25%). It is interesting to note that different built environment professions often have conflicting views on what their government is doing.
