In our country, the implementation of Goal 11 of the Sustainable Development Goals related to making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, and the realization of the urbanization- related aspects of other goals are considered as a priority. The New Urban Agenda covers a large and rich spectrum of interconnected social, economic, environmental and spatial policies and measures. In this period when the COVID-19 Pandemic took hold of the world, in reporting the progress made in this comprehensive context, we have completed our National Report with all our stakeholders at all levels, with a full and effective participation process. In the National Report, the progress made in our Country regarding the implementation of the New Urban Agenda is conveyed with concrete monitoring indicators, studies, best practices and specific examples both at national and local level. In the reporting processes, which will also be carried out regularly in the upcoming period, I believe that experiences and good practices at all levels will be shared and cooperation will increasingly continue through the Platform established by UN Habitat in the provision of sustainable cities.
