Sport wields incredible power to foster inclusion and drive economic growth on various fronts. Therefore,
in the quest to build thriving, inclusive societies, it
is essential to focus on strengthening sports and championing sports policies, particularly in urban areas. Building on a compilation of successful city-led initiatives worldwide, this report highlights concrete examples that leverage sport and physical education as tools to serve as policy guides to national and local authorities and encourage policymakers to prioritise sport in their agenda.
Featuring examples from UNESCO’s International Coalition of Inclusive and Sustainable Cities – ICCAR, and framed within “Fit for Life”, UNESCO’s sport-based flagship, this report extends a warm invitation to activate smart investments in sport.
