“…Extensive research has been conducted on urban resilience assessments (Cardoso et al 2020;Sharifi and Yamagata 2016;Archer et al 2014;Gargiulo et al 2017). Building urban resilience, therefore, requires an assessment of multifaceted criteria for urban settings.…”

City authorities across the globe have resolved to make their cities sustainable and inclusive. However, resilience of cities to climate change, which is a vital component of the sustainable city development process, is a challenge, especially in the global south. This paper sought to critically examine the resilience of Ghanaian cities and explore ways to enhance their resilience in a sustainable manner. To address this key objective, answers to the following specific questions were sought: (1) Are the Ghanaian cities prepared to face future climate uncertainties? (2) How resilient are the Ghanaian cities? (3) What is the way forward for building resilience in the Ghanaian cities? The paper draws on urban resilience studies from academic databases such as SCOPUS, Web of Science, Google Scholar and ERIC. Focusing on disaster management, green infrastructure, land-use and urban planning, institutional structures and community engagement in the analyses of literature, the results show that Ghanaian cities remain vulnerable and largely dependent on human activities to achieve resilience. For instance, there is limited financial support for disaster response and understanding of urban resilience principles. More so, failure to enforce land-use planning regulations has led to the growth of unauthorised development, waste management problems and destruction of urban green spaces. The study provides a valuable contribution to the discourse on resilient cities in urban areas by specifically addressing the challenges related to urban resilience to achieve sustainable cities in Ghana. We propose that capacity for disaster risk reduction, institutional collaboration and enforcement of urban planning regulations should be strengthened.

“…As regards the SDG 11, one of the ways in which it can be pursued is an innovative city planning approaches for sustainable energy planning that take place in every sector (integrative smart city planning project) and which use a multi-criteria decision analysis [38]. Other methods relate to the design of new dwellings by using completely innovative solutions that respect economic, ethical, and environmental objectives, as in the case of the invention of housing domes dedicated to poor and rural populations [77].…”

“…In this context, the alternative concept of a sustainable business model may bring competitive advantage to organizations by enhancing conventional business models to achieve sustainable development while maintaining profitability and productivity [37]. In the context of urban transition, it was highlighted that a series of initiatives and programs created to involve European cities in the effort of a low-carbon future and an improvement in the quality of life through sustainable economic development have generally been successful and led to the commitment of a growing number of cities toward SDGs [38]. Other authors focused on the possible upstream causes of the problem [39]: for example, it has been noted that neoliberalism has greatly increased inequalities and accentuated the imbalance of power between north and south countries.…”

On 25 October 2015 the United Nations approved The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). It is an important event from different points of view: clear judgment was expressed on the unsustainability of current development models, not only on the environmental level, but also on the economic and social ones. The implementation of the agenda requires a strong involvement of all members of society, especially business. The article aims to provide a literature overview on the relationships between innovation and sustainable development objectives in the industrial context. SDGs are also analyzed in terms of stakeholders involved, reactions of companies and citizens and metrics recently proposed by researchers of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC). These preliminary results show that different stakeholders approach the SDGs differently, but also that the interest of companies toward SDGs is growing, confirming the considerations that emerged in literature. Furthermore, some SDGs appear to be more a prerequisite for achieving targets, than actual goals, while innovation has proven to be a driver for most SDGs.

Low carbon cities are the effort of the leaders in achieving sustainable development. The gap is despite the LCCF Checklist is readied but not all implement in planning permission at the local authority. The objective is to study a challenge for policymakers in the approach of the LCCF Checklist in development control. The methodology is a mixed-method, namely quantitative and qualitative approaches. The findings of the LCCF checklist are identifying as important in planning permission into the development control process. Surprisingly, the challenges exist in the implementation of the LCCF Checklist in the development control process.
