Monitoring Smart Inclusive Transitions for an Equitable Urban Future, Using Global Urban Monitoring Framework

This report focuses on how cities can use smart technology to promote inclusivity and equity in urban development. It introduces the Smart-Inclusive Transition (SIT), a framework that ensures all citizens regardless of socio-economic status, abilities, or location have access to urban services and information. The SIT aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and encourages cities to invest in essential infrastructure, engage residents in decision-making, and leverage digital innovations to foster inclusive growth. The report also highlights the use of the Global Urban Monitoring Framework (UN-Habitat) to assess SIT progress. Cities can use this data to tailor strategies based on their unique challenges; for example, improving digital infrastructure in Africa or strengthening legal protections for marginalised communities in Asia.


Ultimately, the SIT approach aims to accelerate the achievement of the SDGs, ensuring that cities are designed by, for, and of all people.
