Abstract

The rapid increase in urbanization has been accompanied by an increasing population and threats posed by climate change to economic and social well-being. Hence, there is a need to reimagine urban infrastructure; it will need to withstand the effects of climate change and the burgeoning inequality in society. Such cultural and economic factors must be addressed through education and policy interventions that align with Mission Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE), which calls for a mass movement towards an environmentally conscious lifestyle. This article shall explore possibilities for India towards creating and transitioning towards resilient cities that complement the goals of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Agenda 2030 through LiFE-oriented behavioural changes, consumption and production patterns. Additionally, India’s G20 presidency has come at a crucial time when the task falls on the most populous state in the world to underline the need to reimagine city planning and urban expansion in the Global South. The G20 can use the platform offered by Urban20, a city diplomacy initiative instituted in 2017 to provide meaningful support to SDG 11 on Sustainable Cities and Communities with the aim of making cities and human settlements more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable.
为G20重塑城市基础设施:印度的可持续城市使命生活
伴随着城市化的快速发展,人口不断增加,气候变化对经济和社会福祉构成了威胁。因此,有必要重新构想城市基础设施;它需要承受气候变化的影响和社会中日益加剧的不平等。这些文化和经济因素必须通过教育和政策干预加以解决,这些干预应与环境生活方式使命(LiFE)相一致,该使命呼吁大众运动走向具有环境意识的生活方式。本文将探讨印度通过以生命为导向的行为改变、消费和生产模式,创建和过渡到弹性城市的可能性,以补充联合国2030年可持续发展目标(SDG)议程的目标。此外,印度担任G20轮值主席国正值关键时刻,作为世界上人口最多的国家,印度的任务落在了强调重新构想全球南方国家城市规划和城市扩张的必要性上。G20可以利用Urban20这一平台。Urban20是2017年发起的一项城市外交倡议,旨在为可持续发展目标11“可持续城市和社区”提供有意义的支持,使城市和人类住区更具包容性、韧性和可持续性。
