Evo Haven for Sustainable Cities and Communities: Goal #11

-

As the real estate prices in the whole country are sky-high, there are substantial tax breaks being offered to investors for investing in opportunity zones. Such opportunity zones are created out of areas that are termed as underprivileged. Although the development of opportunity zones leads to economic benefits for these areas, the main goal behind it is to create sustainable cities and communities. In this blog, we will talk about what is Goal #11, the importance of urban human settlements, sustainable human settlements, and how Evo Haven plays a part in all of this.


What is Goal #11?

The importance of sustainable cities and communities was outlined by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda, Sustainable Development Goal 11. This goal states, "make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable." Basically, the UN wanted urban areas to focus more on clean energy and sustainable homes.

Growing Importance of Human Urban Settlements

Are you thinking about how did this goal come about? Well, as the urban population increased well above the rural one in recent times, there is an opportunity for increased economic growth and prosperity. By 2050, it is expected that two-thirds of the world’s population will be living in urban areas. With so many people living in urban settlements, the need for making these communities sustainable is more than ever. 

Sustainable Human Settlements

So, what does sustainable human settlement development call for? According to Chapter 7 of Agenda 21, here are eight points:

  1. Providing adequate shelter for all

  2. Improving human settlements management 

  3. Promoting sustainable land-use planning and management

  4. Promoting the integrated provision of environmental infrastructure: water, sanitation, drainage and solid waste management

  5. Promoting sustainable energy and transport systems in human settlements 

  6. Promoting human settlements planning and management in disaster-prone areas

  7. Promoting sustainable construction industry activities

  8. Promoting human resource development and capacity-building for human settlements development


Evo Haven and Sustainability

It means that we offer affordable and modern residential and commercial properties, which are energy efficient and use self-sustaining resources. EVO Haven aims to end the housing crisis in the world by offering cost-effective and energy-conservative housing alternatives and similar sustainable real estate projects in urban and rural communities. While designing any housing project, we keep environmental sustainability and innovative green development in mind. Thus, we use the greatest number of recycled materials and green energy resources to build and renovate these housing units.

Final Words

What does it mean to be Net Zero?

Humans have advanced in technology and achieved globalization. However, much of it came at a price. We compromised on our planet's health and left behind huge human footprints. Today we are going through the aftermath of industrialization and are seeing a change in our climatic conditions. Our planet is becoming warmer than usual, which is not ideal for the planet and humankind.  Industries like the conventional construction industry are contributing largely to the overall climate change, which is why we need energy-efficient real estate to combat these issues. The conventional buildings are known to embody carbon that comes from the material used and the construction process itself. This carbon needs to be reduced down by using environmentally friendly materials and renewable energy in the construction process. Tackling climate change is one of the top priorities worldwide, and one way that can be done is by reaching net zero. But before we dive in deeper, we need to know about ne

Evo Haven to launch new development projects in San Francisco

-
Evo Haven’s CEO, Majesty Gayle, has stated he is looking at San Francisco as another "potential site for development." San Francisco residents can look forward to having affordable, sustainable container home for living available to them soon.  Gayle believes San Francisco is an exciting market as the houses there are very close together, comparing them with townhouses. He mentioned that the houses in this city are priced at around $1.38 million, which were priced at $420,000 not too long ago. With the exponential increase in the prices, Gayle wants to construct sustainable houses that are more affordable and easy on the pockets for those who wish to own houses in San Francisco.  The land Evo Home has selected to build the container houses is excellent and can house mix-use property on it. “It is a very good piece of land,” says Gayle. “There is a vet center nearby and some retail as well. The residents can have various opportunities in the area, with many jobs available too,
