Abstract
The rise in population explosion characterized by influx of activities of multinational oil companies in Rivers State has called for the need to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable (SDG 11). This study therefore aimed at developing aesthetic education programme for adults in realization of sustainable development goal 11 in Rivers State, Nigeria. The study was guided by four objectives. The research and development design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was 2,022 respondents made up of 170 facilitators and 1,653 learners from the three senatorial districts in the state. The proportionate stratified random sampling technique was used to select 30% of the population as the sample size. Instrument for data collection was the researchers’ structured questionnaire which was face validated by three experts. Data collected were subjected to descriptive and inferential analysis in the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software version 21. Findings revealed that transmitting knowledge for disaster management and development of perceptual sensitivity on aesthetic experiences were some of the objectives of aesthetic education programme. The study further revealed disaster management and cultural norms and values as some of its contents. Brainstorming and observation were some of the delivery systems, while discussion and the use of video clips among others were evaluation strategies. Recommendations and implications were further provided.

Summary
The development of an aesthetic education programme for adults in realization of sustainable development goal eleven (11) following the significant transformation in terms of human settlements is orchestrated by population explosion and the activities of multinationals in exploration and exploitation of crude oil products in Rivers State. The state has a population of 3,187,864 (Nigeria, 1991) and accounts for 3.58 percent of Nigeria’s population. As a major theatre in the slave traffic and palm oil trade in the mid nineteenth and early twentieth century, Rivers State is endowed with war relics, artefacts and historical monuments. This invariably accounts for its rich cultural heritage
