Goals:[4]​.

9.1 Develop reliable, sustainable, resilient and quality infrastructure, including regional and cross-border infrastructure, to support economic development and human well-being, with special emphasis on affordable and equitable access for all.

9.4 By 2030, modernize infrastructure and convert industries to be sustainable, using resources more efficiently and promoting the adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, and ensuring that all countries take action according to their respective capabilities.

9.a Facilitate the development of sustainable and resilient infrastructure in developing countries through increased financial, technological and technical support to African countries, least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing States.

Countries around the world are currently faced with the challenge of meeting their population's demand for good quality infrastructure services, while facing severe fiscal constraints.

80% of Latin America's population lives in cities, and this number is expected to reach 90% within 25 years. Greater investments in equipment are then needed to provide basic public services and ensure equitable growth.[1]​.

Several organizations in Canada related to the FCM InfraGuide project, including the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, Infrastructure Canada, the National Research Council of Canada") and the Canadian Public Works Association, will seek to achieve sustainability of their infrastructure, especially on a large municipal scale by converting it into sustainable urban infrastructure, advocating an environmental protocol") and the inclusion of an ecological and social indicator") and other factors at the earliest stage of decision-making. There is little attention yet on sustainable rural infrastructure"), although this is a stated objective of the project, as it is expanding to achieve rural development in developed countries.

In his opinion, sustainability applies to "maintenance, repair and modernization of the infrastructure that sustains the quality of life")", including at least:

These and other official Canadian entities, including the Auditor General of Canada and Service Canada, focus on, for example, municipal management auditing, information and communications technologies, conscious consumerism, and the sharing of "data, information, common infrastructure, technology" and the need to "integrate their business processes" to further reduce waste, especially electronic scrap, and reduce greenhouse gases, as one of the concerns set out in the Kyoto Protocol. In 2011, Canada withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol due to economic problems[15][16].

"Communities of Tomorrow" is a non-profit company in Saskatchewan, Canada, that encourages the development and commercialization of innovative sustainable infrastructure solutions for the global market. Sustainable infrastructure in the development of water, sewage, roads and other infrastructure systems that meet the needs of current and future generations on a social, economic and environmental level in a sustainable manner. Communities of Tomorrow invites industry companies, along with researchers to collaboratively develop new infrastructure solutions to existing or future problems with the ultimate goal of commercializing them. It is about building greener and more durable infrastructure, such as roads and water systems, to deliver to the global market.
