City Playbook for Advancing the SDGs

This collection of how-to-briefs, written for city government officials, documents case studies on advancing sustainable development and social progress at the local level. 

The “how” of innovations from Los Angeles, to Hawai’i, New York, and a range of global cities participating in the Brooking SDG Leadership Cities community of practice, is captured in case studies across four themes: (1) governance and partnerships; (2) data and measuring progress; (3) SDG priorities; and (4) budgeting and finance.
