Abstract: Global cities are the arena of several socioenvironmental phenomena. To alleviate the disparities and catastrophes arising from the rapid process of urbanization, several nations have begun to pursue a common aim: sustainable development. In this regard, goals and parameters have been established by the United Nations (UN) to encourage debates aimed at the protection of the planet. Since 1930, discussions have sought to promote actions and rethink urban planning, for example, at the International Congress of Modern Architecture, which produced the Athens Charter. In this context, the study reported herein correlates the New Urban Agenda, which systematizes the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) together with the social functions of a city, a concept instigated by international legislation, charters and research to consolidate urban sustainability. As a proposed methodology, this study systemizes integrative data processing, with an applicable approach. In addition, a systematic analysis of the literature was carried out to create definitions and concepts on this theme. As a result, it was verified that social functions can and should integrate global urban policies, particularly when articulated with the SDGs and the New Urban Agenda.
