We published the Guide to Music and the SDGs this year and will, in 2024, publish a Global Music Policy Handbook and website, launching a framework that allows any community in the world, large and small, to develop, engage with, measure and implement a local music development strategy, encompassing education, health and wellbeing, sustainability, economic growth, tourism and integration. Music can be a powerful tool to better understand how to create sustainable places, but there is no baseline or framework to understand what to do, how to do it and how to measure the impact across all disciplines and sectors. If we include music, in all its forms and functions, in how we think about urban development, we can create better places. We need a guide to do so. We have published the link to the SDGs and now will expand that to the entire new urban agenda.
