Abstract: As urbanization grows globally, sustainable city development is essential for addressing environmental, economic, and social challenges. The concept of “Sustainable Cities” integrates sustainability into urban infrastructure, promoting resilience and improving urban quality of life. The European Green City Index offers a framework to assess and guide cities, including those in emerging economies like India, toward sustainable practices. Key components of sustainable urban development include energy management, eco-friendly transport, water conservation, public safety, and healthcare. Financing and effective public administration are crucial for long-term success, helping cities create sustainable policies that address both local and global challenges.
