Sustainable Development Goals. People and Places chose what they do not have

The aim of this paper is to identify the relations between cities and citizens regarding sustainability. We identify clusters of European regions on Sustainable Development Goals based on statistical indicators. We collect and treat data on the ranking of Europeans on Sustainable Development Goals obtained from on-line questionnaires done in different regions in Europe. Using Principal Component Analysist on the composed responses we name them based on the identification of their parts and related their extracted values with the features of the respondents. We conclude not only that the place of the respondents shows significative coefficients in explaining the various components but also that the attitudes implicit in each component favours the goals that are not achieved in the place “People and Places chose what they do not have”.
