The main focus of the Institute is to conduct empirical and theoretical research on complex urban and sustainable development challenges in order to provide effective policy recommendations. The Inclusive Wealth Report (IWR) published by the Institute\u2019s collaborative researchers and sponsored by the UN Environment Programme is the first of its kind to define economic growth in a modern, holistic manner that aligns with the inclusive growth notions outlined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including the value for infrastructure, health, education, and nature. As such, the Urban Institute and the IWR are pioneering internationally-accepted standards for promoting inclusive, sustainable growth through the UN and other reputable supranational organizations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text text02\">Through multi-faceted, multi-disciplinary approaches, the Institute addresses a broad array of sustainable development challenges that underlie an increasingly digitalized, globalized, 21st century society.
