Abstract: Over a quarter of the global population now lives in cities as a catalyst for economic growth. By 2040, the metropolitan community will account for two‐thirds of the population, prompting a rising foreign focus on identifying environmental, social, and economic issues associated with urban growth, including electricity, wastewater, recycling, utilities, mobility, welfare programs, and education. The general opinion of fundamental criteria is critical for increasing political involvement, mainly in developing nations experiencing radical changes that necessitate sustainable rapid urbanization. This research was based on the quantitative and qualitative surveys to look at the ecological, political, and financial constraints of urban growth in Asian developing countries (i.e., China and India). The empirical tests were run on the feedback to look into the correlation between elements and statistical factors. Prior to analyzing the sustainable urban indicators using an assessment‐based approach for addressing issues, credibility, quality, and reliability of the data collection was confirmed. The study came to the conclusion that it is necessary to identify socio‐economic threats of sustainable urban development in various public environments by exploring public and government perspectives. Public goals for urban planning issues have been established, which is a critical step in assisting neighborhoods in reaching a choice that is recognized as a critical concern for developers, architects, and governance in order to achieve a stable climate, public well‐being, and financial security in embracing long‐term sustainable development initiatives. The findings of this research provide useful guidelines for implementing the socio‐environmental sustainability through the urban development projects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
