Independence Hall

Immovable Culture Heritage

Independence Hall, an important and notable site in American history, is the location of the adoption of both the Declaration of Independence in 1776 to establish independence from the British monarchy, and the U.S. Constitution in 1787, creating the early foundations of a new country. The significance of these events contributes to Independence Hall’s nickname as the “birthplace of American democracy”. Today, Independence Hall remains a powerful symbol representing liberty, justice, and self-governance. Independence Hall contributes to several United Nations SDGs, most significantly #4, #11 and #16. It supports #4 Quality Education by serving as a key landmark for educating people about democracy, human rights and governance. It enhances #11 Sustainable Cities and Communities by promoting educational and responsible tourism, further preserving its importance across future generations. Lastly, it upholds #16 Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions as it represents the ideals of liberty and justice. By incorporating the use of digital technology, Independence Hall reaches a wider audience, furthering its contributions to UN SDGs.
