Reflection
At the end of completing this module, I’ve learnt how global organizations give in effort to constantly improve sustainability in different countries. The SDG and other guidelines shape the future of urbanization. As more projects shift their aim to fulfil such sustainable goals, more and more awareness could be brought and changes can be seen. GBI and other organizations within or of many countries assist in helping projects and supervise the sustainability implemented.
