Access to Green and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/public-space\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Public Space<\/a>, aligned with <a href=\"https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/goals\/goal11?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=archdaily.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">SDG 11.7<\/a>, focuses on projects that expand access to safe, inclusive, and accessible public spaces. As urban areas become more compact, the design and maintenance of parks, plazas, and other open spaces are essential to supporting physical and mental health, social interaction, and urban biodiversity. The final category, Strengthen Resilience and Adaptive Capacity to Climate-related Disasters, corresponds with <a href=\"https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/goals\/goal13?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=archdaily.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">SDG 13.1<\/a>. It recognizes projects that incorporate strategies to reduce exposure and vulnerability to climate-related risks.
