High-Level Project Summary
Through my presentation I have focused on the solutions to the problems and implementing of advanced science and usage of satellites and drones for conduction of ground survey before implementing the ideas and the project and gathering of data for analysis. I have shared various ideas for each problems and approach to solve them. Implementation of the solutions after thorough analysis and well planning will surely solve the challenges faced to a high extent. There might be few new issues which we need to keep on checking for and make the necessary upgrades. There are various solutions for a particular challenge like prevention, precaution, new changes (their survey and analysis).

Detailed Project Description
Implementation of the solutions after thorough analysis and well planning will surely solve the challenges faced to a high extent. There might be few new issues which we need to keep on checking for and make the necessary upgrades. There are various solutions for a particular challenge like prevention, precaution, new changes (their survey and analysis) and conducting more research to develop more and also remove loopholes through regular updates wherever necessary.
It will give solutions and approach of ideas for:-
Target 11.1: By 2030, ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services and upgrade slums.
Target 11.2: By 2030, provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety, notably by expanding public transport, with special attention to the needs of those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons.
Target 11.3: By 2030, enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries.
Target 11.6: By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management.
Target 11.7: By 2030, provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities.
It has usage of various electronics devices, natural resources, spreading awareness and educating people, proper planning and analysis using data from satellite, survey using drones, etc.
Data from Earth-observing satellites, airborne science platforms, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in situ platforms can be used to address development challenges around the world. Your challenge is to use this data to enable local stakeholders to develop more sustainable, disaster-risk resilient, and inclusive urban plans. The aims are to make urban spaces more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable, we need to leverage high-quality, timely, and reliable disaggregated data to inform the creation and management of inclusive urban development plans. These plans should include improvements to enable access to basic services (water, electricity, etc.) and public transportation, allow access to open spaces for public use by all, and incorporate slum improvement policies, among other elements.
I hope this will overcome all the challenges and will give under-privileged humans a better life, healthy life and a clean & green life in earth. Together we can work with unity, cooperation and brotherhood to fulfill by 2030 SDG 11 targets implemented by United nations.
Space Agency Data
I have used the resources provided by NASA for referring to the solutions and to know the problems in depth to answer them in most effective way through statistics and data provided by NASA. Example- NASA Earth Science Data, NASA Air quality data, Urbanization and Human settlements, SDG 11 data pathfinder, Toolkits for Sustainable Development Goals .
Using these resources helped me to in development of the project and saved my time in research. I have directly studied them to get an idea of the challenges.
Hackathon Journey
It was a wonderful experience overall starting from the inspiring and motivating guest’s speech to working on the challenges to provide solutions to them.
I got to know about the United Nations project SDG-11 and its challenges. I got to know the real statistics and raw data from NASA resources on them.
The project challenge was about satellites and drone which I found very fascinating. Urban development covers a wide array of subjects, from the movement of people, the planning of utilities to the distribution of resources. With the development of urban areas around the world increasing at an exponential rate, we need new methods for helping with efficient planning.
My approach was to bring out effective solutions to the challenges for welfare and development of our society.
I resolved the setback and challenges by referring through few online articles and rest through my ideas and knowledge. Finally, thanks to NASA for providing the resources and the online articles I have referred. I have mentioned them particularly in reference section.
