Aligning Housing Laws with UN Habitat's Mission: A Sustainable Development Goal Perspective

    Aligning housing laws with the mission of UN-Habitat and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is essential for achieving sustainable urban development and enhancing global living standards. This paper examines how housing policies can be integrated with UN Habitat's goals and the SDGs, focusing on creating equitable, resilient, and sustainable urban environments. It addresses current challenges, including affordability, climate resilience, and social inclusion, and proposes solutions such as strengthening policy frameworks, improving financial mechanisms, promoting community engagement, and advancing environmental sustainability. The study identifies common barriers to effective policy alignment, such as financial constraints and outdated regulations, and offers actionable recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders. By aligning housing laws with global sustainability goals, the paper argues, we can better target SDGs related to sustainable cities, poverty reduction, and inequality, contributing to long-term sustainable development.
