Goal 11 of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) states that cities and human settlements should be made inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said in September that our country excels beyond the global average in achieving the UN’s SDGs. So how is Malaysia progressing on SDG 11? For some thoughts, Natalie Tan will be speaking with Dr. Keith Tan, Associate Professor at the School of Architecture, Building & Design in the Faculty of Innovation & Technology at Taylor’s University.
