The concept of sustainable development arose through the 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment and the 1980 World Conservation Strategy to the early days of the International Conservation Movement (National Research Council, 2003). If at all possible, the sustainability framework seeks to address the damage to socio-cultural integrity and environment that has accompanied accelerated unhindered economic development in many regions of the world in years around the post-World War II (Planning Commission, Government of India, 2012). However, the sustainable development concept comes with varying meanings to various interest groups; nevertheless, the universal consensus gives credence to fairness to future generations (Brundtland Report, 1987). Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (2008) recounted that essentially, the concept, at the expense of potential short-term benefits, propagated and advocated the need to protect the interest of future generations. Global efforts to achieve sustainability were streamlined and formally instituted with the rolling out of the Sustainable Development Goals. The goals are 17 covering many facets of development and have 169 targets. They have become an enhanced form of commitment from countries towards coordinated efforts to end poverty and hunger, protect the environment, and end discrimination in all forms. Though all the goals are relevant and the achievement of one goal has a rippling effect on the others, SDG 11 – making sustainable cities and towns has been identified as the fulcrum towards achieving many others.
