Special Collection for UN SDG Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

The United Nations reports that over half the global population now reside in cities. This growing urbanization puts a strain on the existing infrastructure and increases the importance of sustainability. Civil engineers are exploring ways to make our urban infrastructure (e.g. structures, transit systems, water systems, and land use planning) more resilient and sustainable for future generations.

This curated content from the ASCE Library contains key journal papers, books, and proceedings papers that address the United Nations Sustainability Development Goal 11 for Sustainable Cities and Communities. ASCE is committed to publishing books and journals that will help inform, develop, and inspire sustainable practices.
