Habitat, Urbanism, Housing and Sustainability

Since the Conference on Human Settlements, HABITAT II, organized by the UN in Istanbul, Turkey, in June 1996, known as the Cities Summit, a process was launched to identify urban actions that produce improvements in the sustainability of cities. At the HABITAT III Summit, 20 years later, held in Quito, Ecuador in 2015, each country brought its National Report, on environmental problems associated with habitat and housing. Correspondingly, the United Nations Organization on the subject, approved the New Urban Agenda, (NAU), the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development, which has 17 Goals, (ODS), of which goal 11, is focused on sustainable cities and communities, respectively. The SDGs, therefore, constitute by themselves a roadmap, a common thread that can help to re-establish priorities for a sustainable recovery at a historical moment. Creating evaluation and diagnosis dossiers of the SDGs in habitat, cities and housing, from academia to society is relevant, there are no experiences in this direction and open new paths for innovation and research.
