Sustainable Cities and Communities

Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya (Unusa) is deeply committed to preserving and promoting cultural heritage, aligning its efforts with Sustainable Development Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). The university recognizes the importance of cultural heritage in fostering a sense of identity, community, and continuity. As part of this commitment, UII integrates heritage conservation and arts engagement into campus life, providing students, faculty, and the wider community with opportunities to engage with and preserve their cultural legacy. Through these initiatives, Unusa not only enriches the educational experience but also contributes to the cultural vitality of the surrounding community.

In addition to its cultural preservation efforts, Unusa has embraced sustainable practices across multiple areas of its operations. The university is committed to environmental responsibility and actively promotes sustainability in all aspects of its activities. This includes sustainable building practices, waste management initiatives, and energy-efficient solutions, ensuring that Unusa campus is a model for responsible environmental stewardship. By implementing these sustainable practices, Unusa sets an example for its students and the broader community, demonstrating the importance of balancing development with environmental care.

Unusa commitment to sustainability also extends beyond the physical campus to include community support and sustainable urban development. The university works closely with local communities, providing resources, education, and support for sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and local livelihoods. Through partnerships with local governments, businesses, and NGOs, Unusa is helping to create sustainable urban spaces that are resilient, inclusive, and culturally rich. This approach reflects the university’s broader commitment to contributing to the achievement of SDG 11 by promoting sustainable and thriving cities and communities.

By integrating cultural heritage conservation with sustainable practices, Unusa is working toward a more holistic approach to urban development, where sustainability and cultural preservation go hand in hand. This commitment not only enhances the university’s campus life but also contributes to building stronger, more sustainable communities that are better equipped to face the challenges of the future.
