Which statement describes Goal 11's objective?

• A. Making cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
• B. Expanding urban sprawl.
• C. Reducing city safety.
• D. Diminishing access to housing.

Answer: (A)

This item tests sustainable urban development under Goal 11. The best description is that cities should be inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. That means planning and policies aimed at affordable housing and access to basic services, safe and efficient transport, protections against disasters, and reducing the environmental impact of urban areas so cities can grow without compromising people or the planet. The other statements describe outcomes that run counter to this aim: expanding urban sprawl increases land use and car dependence, reducing city safety undermines resilience and well-being, and diminishing access to housing blocks inclusion and fundamental rights. Therefore, the description of inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities is the correct one.
