Cities are dynamically changing with the rapid pace of urbanisation. India being a developing nation has an ever-increasing number of mega cities. What follows this unprecedented rate of urbanisation is not only economic and industrial growth but also deteriorating urban quality of life. Thus, emergence of sustainable urbanisation in cities is an extreme requisite in order to gain environmental equity. Ecosystems approach allows restoring of the ecosystem component within cities and embedded with the urban planning process yields sustainable urbanisation. The research paper develops an urban sustainability evaluation framework to guide sustainable urbanisation and assists the decision-making process.
