This novel study explores the driving forces and dynamics of rapid urbanization, highlighting the main causes and effects of urban explosion, environmental disruption, and city pattern transformation. This study was carried out that how urbanization and urban sprawl have influenced the structure of the city of Sulaymaniah in Kurdistan region of Iraq. This is because over the years many urban areas have experienced dramatic growth and population explosion that has resulted in the exhaustion of social amenities in the concerned communities. For this purpose, a qualitative method is used based on in-depth face-to-face interviews with local authority, including planners, architects, and experts of master planning, as well as professors in the academic institutions. This study also utilizes extensive document analysis to present the evolution of urban growth. The findings reveal that the autonomy, political conflict, non-implementation of master plans, and economic prosperity are the driving forces which are accelerating this urbanization process. It is proposed that the practical policies and strategic urban development plans are urgent requirement to control the unplanned urban growth and stimulate the desired sustainable future urban development.

“…Besides, preferences towards varied activities to protect water also differ as per areas in Lahore region. There was an extreme surge in the development of the population with a growing rate of narrowly 3 percent last year in here (Amin, 2018). If this same growth rate persists, then the urban and rural population will be similar until 2030 (Scanlon, Cassar, and Nemes, 2004).…”

Water resources are exhausting around the world owing to abundant issues like massive population, and the unconcerned behaviour of people. The majority of people have an inadequate supply of water in Pakistan. Against the backdrop of such a situation, this study examines how demographic determinants impact the attitude of people to conserve water at slum households in Lahore. Precisely, the study attempts to elucidate how the difference in marital status, occupation, family size, residential type impacts the attitude of people towards water conservation. A sample of 200 respondents was selected through a convenient sampling technique for data collection from a field survey. A significant difference was found between income, marital status, size of houses, and attitude, while no difference was enlisted between attitude, occupation, and size of the family. There should be a proper water policy by the government with a major emphasis on conservation and sustainability. All people should take significant steps to save water in day-to-day water practices like hand washing, soap application by turning off the water taps. Public awareness programs on how to save water should be planned.

Urban studies in Nigeria mostly focus on large cities and metropolitan areas, with minimal attention given to sustainable urban development in midsized cities. In this study, we address this knowledge gap and examine the policies and practices driving urban growth in Uyo, a midsized city in Nigeria. Specifically, we evaluate to what extent the prevailing urban governance culture and practices move the city toward or away from being inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable—central tenets of UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11. This study critically explores the strategic and operational approaches deployed by public stakeholders in pursuit of urban development, housing security, and economic and infrastructure development. We find the lack of continuity in commitment to urban infrastructural development projects and a flawed land tenure system that exacerbates housing insecurity are the two most critical challenges to address in attaining the goals of SDG11 in Uyo. The former calls for better fiscal management and adoption of good governance practices across the administrative hierarchy. The land tenure system can be made equitable and less cumbersome by overhauling the 1999 Land Use Act law of the country. Our findings can inform policies to make midsized cities facing similar challenges more inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
