It is reported that the rapid rate of urbanization has negative impacts on the environment, society, and economic conditions in the capital of Pakistan, which need to be addressed for sustainability. This study attempts to quantify the level of urban sustainability by using a Multiple Linear Regression Analysis in a social context. Primary data were collected through a random sampling survey, while secondary data were collected from the Capital Development Authority, public documents, and past studies or case reports. These data were associated with land values, property rent, the availability of commercial space, social security, the sense of belonging, and the frequency of urban flooding. The major sources of secondary data were the revised master plan of the city (2020–2040), urban gazette data, land value registers, property dealers’ records of real estate, and government documents. The results of the analyses show that there is a strong correlation between the selected variables and the urban sustainability of the area. These results were expressed through the coefficient of regression and coefficient of correlation through regression statistics, including R = 0.801 for economic sustainability, R = 0.822 for urban sustainability, and R = 0.905 for social sustainability. The results reveal that the level of urban sustainability is at risk due to overpopulation and the degradation of the ecosystem. It is concluded that there is a need for the implementation of a revised master plan in the area for the sustainable development of the city.

Over the last three decades, the environment has become a hotly discussed topic all over the world. The United Nations has set up seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to achieve a standard of sustainable practices in the world including both developed and developing countries. Among these goals, the environment is regarded as a primary concern for all countries. The purpose of this research is to identify potential environmental indicators and challenges in organizational settings. This paper specifically investigates the impact of sustainable leadership on the environment, both directly and indirectly, through environmental practices and sustainable culture. Using a sample of 306 organizational personnel and Partial Least Square (PLS) Structural Equation Model (SEM), the results reveal that Sustainable Leadership (SL) have a significant impact on environmental sustainability. The results also indicate that Environmental Practices (EP) and Sustainable Culture (SC) influence Green Performance (GP). Findings of this study reinforce the organization’s concern for environmental sustainability and suggest how organizations and institutions can improve the environment through sustainable leadership. This is the first research to not only empirically study the interaction of SL and GP, but also to throw light on the existing literature by investigating the mediating function of environmental practices and sustainable culture and the underlying relationship.

“…The core meaning of the word “ecological civilization” is also investigated, and explained as the relationships between man and nature, the contrast between ecological and modern civilization, and the characteristics of ecological civilization construction throughout the history ( Huang and Westman, 2021 ). An integrated worldview known as ecological civilization takes into account the intricate changes that have occurred in the environment, economics, society, and resource availability ( Fernandes and Machado, 2022 ). The regional system theory of human-earth relationships and the ‘social-economic-natural’ complex ecosystem theory are the foundations of the ecological civilization evaluation system, which offers a thorough and systematic measurement of the level of development of ecological civilization from various perspectives ( Zhang et al, 2016 , 2017 , 2021 ; Wang D. et al, 2021 ).…”

“…With the advancement of social development, the concept of giving equal weight to economic development and environmental protection has gained widespread acceptance. By putting the theory of ecological civilization into practise and executing green development with equal emphasis on economic growth and environmental conservation, the tension between economic and social development, resource consumption, and environmental protection may potentially be overcome ( Yang Q. et al, 2021 ; Zhou et al, 2021 ; Das et al, 2022 ; Fernandes and Machado, 2022 ). The nation’s long-term economic prosperity is heavily dependent on how we handle the relationship between man and nature and create a healthy coexistence between man and nature when economic progress is taking place ( Xu and Zhong, 2022 ).…”

To encourage the building of a development route for ecological civilization construction which commensurates with China’s unique national conditions, early demonstration and pilot ecological civilization zones should be built. This study aims to investigate the effects of ecological civilization construction policies on regional total factor productivity, green total factor productivity, and the methods of action by using panel data from 30 provinces in Mainland China from 2005 to 2020. Our findings indicate that the pilot eco-civilization policies have a more significant effect on the promotion of green total factor production, while the effect on total factor productivity is average. Furthermore, the main purpose of the ecological civilization construction pilot is to improve the level of green innovation, optimise the industrial structure and promote the allocation of factors to achieve a win-win situation for regional economic development and green benefits. Moreover, under different levels of economic growth, the pilot eco-civilization policies have a more significant effect on the promotion of green total factor at various stages of economic growth and industrialization. There are also clear discrepancies in how well ecological civilization construction programmes are implemented. Thus, in order to support high-quality regional economic development, it is crucial to continue to advance and promote the pilot eco-civilization initiatives.
