Good urban governance forms the foundation for efficient and sustainable city planning. Participatory approaches towards urban planning ensure that the needs of populations are considered and that communities will contribute to the sustainability of cities. Accountability, transparency, participation, and inclusion are considered to be the foundation for local and national level public administration and action; however, there are often gaps in terms of who is able to participate and be included in the process (Carothers and Brechenmacher 2014). The implementation of this indicator underpins how urban planning processes can be developed in a way that will support city-level achievement of the SDGs and forms a foundation for ensuring accountability, transparency, participation, and inclusion.

Culture is the basis for how people live their lives and interact with the environment (Duxbury, Hosagrahar and Pascual 2016). No sustainable development process can underestimate the importance of culture and heritage of the communities. Investing in cultural and natural heritage is a foundation for ensuring that citizens are engaged in development and appreciate their natural environment. There is little information related to the preservation of heritage and thus there is a need to improve cultural statistics. In 2009, a Framework for Cultural Statistics was adopted which provides a basis for measuring culture and interactions between culture and development (UNESCO 2009). “Cultural matters are integral parts of the lives we lead. If development can be seen as enhancement of our living standards, then efforts geared to development can hardly ignore the world of culture” (Amartya Sen). Many corporations are making efforts to maintain art, culture, and tradition as part of their corporate social responsibility initiatives.
