    Hello. I need help with areas i may consider in advancing my career. i have a degree in urban and regional planning. i would like to delve in more of planning issues or policy. Any advice?

    You should be familiiar with SDG 11 with its targets and indicatoors. These will help you plan accorsing to the international and national standards,... You ma also apply for a postgraduate degree in climate smart-cities or green urban planning in viiew of climate risks or disaster for adaptation by urban settlers.Develop a research proposal that takes into account the UN SDG 11,It is eas to turn the targets into objectives of the study and indicators as the expected results or outputs, and later on outcomes and impact.As you do do join other networks and attend conferences or write papers for your visibilit. I hope these ideas are faiir for your future uurban planning, You can even start with small urban or trading centres. local markets, small towns or citiies, Do approach the local uurbann authoritiies as well. Have agood project proposal in advance with flexibility. Read about specific urban planning challenges too. You can always do better than you think,  more

Congratulations on remembering the 2025 New Year Season’s transition and I wish you a joyful, refreshing, brilliant, peaceful, and generous 2025 cross-over New Year colorful celebration full of love, hope, forgiveness, faith, opportunities, and performance excellence at work. Give special thanks and glory to God who has promised to fill your life with all kinds of good things and renew your youth... to feel special, healthy, radiant, motivated, strong, supportive, and joyful. The Word says we must work with all our hearts as if working for God but not as only serving women and men for divine heritage when you work. God has promised you by faith a double restoration of lost time, relationships, land, faith, responsibilities, seasons, things, and peace of heart, and mind. Be always blessed to bless yourself and one another with divine love, grace, mercy, victory, success, prosperity, and justice in 2025. more
