Published Progress – SDG11 (Sustainable Cities & Communities) [17.3.11]

Public reporting on university progress and performance related to SDG11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).


The “Published Progress – SDG11” focus area at PTUK focuses on documenting initiatives that make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. PTUK implements applied research, campus projects, and community programs in areas such as sustainable urban planning, smart infrastructure, green spaces, public transport solutions, and disaster risk reduction. The university also engages students and local communities in participatory projects that enhance urban resilience, environmental sustainability, and quality of life.

Publishing progress under this focus area supports SDG17 by fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration and knowledge exchange. PTUK shares research findings, case studies, and technical reports with municipal authorities, NGOs, international partners, and other universities. These publications enable replication of successful urban sustainability models, inform policy development, and strengthen partnerships for resilient city planning. Documentation also encourages integration of evidence-based practices into local and regional urban strategies.

Through this focus area, PTUK integrates research, education, and community engagement to improve urban living conditions and support sustainable development in cities and towns. Publicly sharing outcomes ensures transparency, promotes best practices, and fosters collaborative partnerships at local, regional, and international levels. By linking academic research with practical urban solutions, PTUK contributes to both SDG11 and the broader objectives of SDG17, supporting the creation of sustainable, inclusive, and resilient communities.
