Realizing our vision.
UN-Habitat’s vision is “a better quality of life for all in an urbanizing world”. UN-Habitat works with partners to build inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and communities. The agency promotes urbanization as a positive transformative force for people and communities, reducing inequality, discrimination and poverty.

Helping achieve the Sustainable Development Goals
As the United Nations focal point for sustainable urbanization and human settlements, UN-Habitat has been designated as a custodian agency for 9 of the 15 indicators under SDG 11, and supports the monitoring and reporting of 4 indicators in other goals.
As such, the Agency is leading the methodological developments of guides and tools for the urban-related SDG indicators and targets, as well as working with other UN agencies and various stakeholders to strengthen the capacity of countries and cities to efficiently monitor and report on these indicators.
Contributing to the Domains of Change
With sharpened focus on its vision and mission, UN-Habitat proposes to serve Member States, subnational and local government, and other key urban actors in the pursuit of four mutually reinforcing and integrated goals or “domains of change”:
Reduced spatial inequality and poverty in communities across the urban – rural continuum
Enhanced shared prosperity of cities and regions
Strengthened climate action and improved urban environment
Effective urban crisis prevention and response
