SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities Sustainable cities are healthy cities, they are cities where it is safe to live and work. Simple enough, so why do we not want them?

SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities When we talk of reduced inequalities we often mean between men and women, girls and boys, but there are other issues that need to be addressed.

Females working in a male dominated environment such as the construction sector if they are professional and know what they are talking about should have…
SDG 4: Ensure Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education and Promote Lifelong Learning Opportunities for All. This is one that sits nicely with EISMAT; the SDG 4.
