How could we achieve SDG 11
(in Tel-Aviv? )
Published by the UN each year, the Sustainable Development Goals report (abv. SDG), outlines diverse global challenges, such as poverty, biodiversity, conflicts and instability, differentials in education and health care.
Among the 17 goals enlisted, Goal n. 11 In particular deals with human settlements and cities. It aims to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, by addressing issues like: rapid urbanization, access to public transport, investment in urban infrastructure, air pollution, material footprint and improvements in the efficiency of resource use.
When a state takes the liberal route towards a limited government, there is bound to be a transformation in the role of the public sector from a direct service provider to chiefly a regulator. This trickles down to each local authority in the form of loss in both control and funds. Hereafter, cities for which these limitations in public funds render providing quality and efficiency of public services impossible are driven to form Public-Private Partnerships (abv. PPP).
Ideally, the incorporation of specialized private bodies could lead to better use of public resources. However, typically the private sector has very little "skin in the game" since the public sector usually takes on most of the financial risk.
Moreover, as Richard E. Foglesong points out in his seminal book "Planning the Capitalist City: The Colonial Era to the 1920s", capitalist planning entails at least two major contradictions: “the property contradiction,” and the “the capitalist-democracy contradiction.” Fogelsong writes:
“The property contradiction was defined as a contradiction between the private ownership and control of urban land ...and the social needs that that land and its appurtenances must serve. “
p. 22
“The capitalist-democracy is a contradiction between the need to socialize the control of urban space to create the conditions for the maintenance of capitalism, on the one hand, and the danger to capital of truly socializing, that is, democratizing, the control of urban land, on the other.“
p. 23
As planners, we must acknowledge the condition of this phenomenon in each particular site.

What can we know
While trying to avoid a reductionist discourse, we inspect objects for both their qualities and function. The fusion of Formalism and Functionalism respectively leads to what we call Perfomalism. This approach, however, includes a built-in limitation in regards to dealing with indefinite features of reality. Since evaluating performance, and even more so directing performance, relies on predetermined parameters, what can't be measured doesn't exist. This is why it is of utmost importance that we first move as many items from the intangible pile to the tangible pile.
