In this ever changing technologically evolving world, in order to create a more sustainable built environment, it is essential to adhere to established core elements and improve or re-invent them for all of humanity, and from a Civil Engineering perspective this includes enhancing and better designing our current and future Infrastructure. A Global Education is essential to promote new, advanced materials, that are not yet mainstream, so we concur that the path towards Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), achieving relevant Targets 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.6 and 11.7, is indeed only possible, if other relevant SDG’s are also met. This research effort is not only discussing Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), but also addressing Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG 9), through the use of GFRP Resilient Infrastructure project that were recently (2019) installed, in Florida, U.S.A., to start long-term, environmentally friendly, LCA/LCC long-term saving, protection of the Shorelines from Hurricanes and Sea Level Rise [Relevant SDG Targets 9.1 and 9.4 will also be discussed]. Climate Action [Relevant SDG Targets 13.1 and 13.3] and Quality Education [relevant SDG Targets 4.3, 4.4 and 4.7] which are instrumental to the success of this project are considered. Part of the discussions will address the distinctions in Sustainability, i.e. Stability, Resilience, Durability and Robustness among others. In order to illustrate the interaction of the SDG’s, a Secant-Pile/Bulkhead Shore-Protection project that is buried within a dune-system and is in harmony with the surrounding coastal environment was chosen. Constructability issues will be discussed and illustrated, and data measurements provided to showcase the efficiency of this system, resulting in GFRP assembly time savings of 32% to 52%, lightweight installations and ease of constructability. An indication will be provided how the construction sector (i.e. sustainable built environment) can contribute towards Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG11) of the future, along with the challenges that are associated with new materials and methods that yet have to find a broader foothold.

在这个不断变化的技术发展的世界中，为了创造一个更可持续的建筑环境，必须坚持既定的核心要素并为全人类改进或重新发明它们，从土木工程的角度来看，这包括增强和更好设计我们当前和未来的基础设施。全球教育对于推广尚未成为主流的新型先进材料至关重要，因此我们同意通往可持续城市和社区 (SDG 11)、实现相关目标 11.1、11.2、11.3、11.6 和 11.7 的道路确实只有可能，如果其他相关的可持续发展目标也得到满足。这项研究工作不仅讨论可持续城市和社区（SDG 11），还涉及工业、创新和基础设施（SDG 9），通过使用最近（2019 年）在美国佛罗里达州安装的 GFRP 弹性基础设施项目，开始长期、环保、LCA/LCC 长期节约、保护海岸线免受飓风和海平面上升 [相关还将讨论可持续发展目标 9.1 和 9.4]。考虑了有助于该项目成功的气候行动[相关的可持续发展目标具体目标 13.1 和 13.3] 和素质教育[相关的可持续发展目标具体目标 4.3、4.4 和 4.7]。部分讨论将讨论可持续性方面的区别，即稳定性、弹性、耐用性和稳健性等。为了说明可持续发展目标的相互作用，选择了一个埋在沙丘系统中并与周围沿海环境和谐相处的割线桩/隔板海岸保护项目。将讨论和说明可建造性问题，并提供数据测量以展示该系统的效率，从而节省 32% 至 52% 的 GFRP 装配时间、轻量级安装和易于建造性。将提供建筑部门（即可持续建筑环境）如何为未来的可持续城市和社区（SDG11）做出贡献的指示，以及与新材料和新方法相关的挑战，这些挑战必须找到更广泛的立足点。
