Many challenges exist in maintaining cities in a way that continues to create jobs and prosperity without straining the environment. Financial assistance for sustainable construction in LDCs is an important component of sustainable development. Globally, the construction industry is one of the largest users of energy, material resources, and water and it is a formidable polluter (UN 2016). Goal 11 aims to promote global cooperation in construction of sustainable and resilient buildings in LDCs through financial and technical support systems. In this regard, The United Nation’s Secretary General Independent Advisory Group on Data Revolution for Sustainable Development emphasises the need for high-quality and reliable data (UN-Habitat 2018b). With 5 billion people projected to live in cities by 2030 and 95 percent of urban expansion in the next decades expected to take place in the developing world (UN 2018c), efforts must be intensified to ensure that all urban inhabitants live in resilient and sustainable communities and have access to adequate housing and basic services.
