Sustainable Development Goals
How the built environment relates to the SDGs
The built environment, planning, architecture and design interact with every one of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Not just on an aspirational level or for an imagined future, but through existing buildings and cities all over the world. Meaningful architectural solutions are already here, contributing to sustainable communities and a better quality of life.
Capturing energy-efficient and high performing buildings based on sustainable principles.
