Månsson, M., Oloko, M., Valencia, S., Versace, I. & Wright, C. (2020) Prioritising initiatives at city levels to achieve the SDGs. Mistra Urban Futures Policy Brief 2020:2
Prioritisation among the 169 targets and indicators of the 17 SDGs is essential but challenging. This document presents highlights of a knowledge exchange between people from city governments and academic institutions in Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Gothenburg, Kisumu, Malmö, Sheffield and Shimla, with recommendations for helping cities to achieve the SDGs.
This Policy Brief was developed collectively by members of the Mistra Urban Futures project “Implementing the New Urban Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals: Comparative Urban Perspectives”1 who in 2017–2019 have discussed the SDGs prioritisation processes.
