This report addresses five SDGs, including: SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 14 (Life below Water) and SDG 15 (Life on Land). For SDG 11, this report focuses on five indicators,  including  public  transport  (SDG  11.2.1),  urbanization  (SDG  11.3.1),  cultural  and  natural  heritage  (SDG  11.4.1),  PM2.5  (SDG  11.6.2)  and  public  spaces  (SDG  11.7.1). This  report  utilizes  Big  Earth  Data  in  place  of  the  traditional  statistical  data  and  increases  the  spatiotemporal  resolution  of  SDG  indicator  evaluation. It also  develops  and  employs  the  Big  Earth Data methods for assessing China’s domestic practices aimed  at  achieving  SDG  11.
