Strengthening national and local capacities is therefore paramount to enable and build systems that support collection, analysis and dissemination of SDGs data and information, including supporting different forms of disaggregation, accompanied by spatial analysis, and the necessary mechanisms to aggregate urban data at country level. An effective implementation structure for SDG 11 at the national and sub-national levels requires reliable and effective governance structures and supportive frameworks for financing, innovations and institutional capacity-building, with a well-connected network of stakeholders at global, regional and national levels. In addition, most of the 234 SDG indicators have a direct connection to urban policies and a clear impact on cities and human settlements, since nearly one third of indicators are being measured at the local level.
