Al Madinah’s VLR aims to evaluate Al Madinah’s current state of sustainable development and to assess them to the national and international trends.
The VLR focuses on 9 SDG goals: from Goal 1 (no poverty) to Goal 8 (decent work and economic growth), and Goal 11 (cities and sustainable communities). The report addresses Al Madinah’s sustainable development state in many fields such as health, education, infrastructure, environment, housing, and transport among others. Al Madinah opted for a hybrid approach. The Al Madinah VLR groups those SDG Goals that are a priority for the city’s development into thematic chapters that included the analysis of interlinked SDG Goals.
