Metadata record for the manuscript: Co-producing urban knowledge in Angola and Mozambique: towards meeting SDG 11

This metadata record provides details of the data supporting the claims of the related manuscript: “Co-producing urban knowledge in Angola and Mozambique: towards meeting SDG 11”.

The related study presents findings from a research project conducted in the cities of Luanda, Angola and Maputo, Mozambique which used citizen science to generate data on the indicators of standalone urban goal 11 adopted as part of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and used these data to inform more inclusive, sustainable and participatory urban planning and policymaking. SDG 11 is encapsulated as the need to make cities in Africa ‘more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable’.
