How are the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals showing up in American cities, communities, education, and public policy? In this episode, Common Core Diva Lynne Taylor joins Tim Brown to examine “model cities” and what they describe as the expanding implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in the United States. The discussion explores how sustainable development can connect global objectives with local government, urban planning, education, workforce development, infrastructure, housing, transportation, health, technology, and public-private partnerships. By following the language, programs, funding, and policy connections, Taylor challenges Americans to investigate how international sustainable-development objectives may be translated into initiatives operating at the federal, state, and local levels—and to ask how much influence citizens retain over the future of their own communities.
