摘要

This study assesses the state of urban environmental sustainability in Bangladesh by integrating multidimensional indicators aligned with SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). Using a primary household survey dataset of 1,200 respondents across Rajshahi, Gazipur, Sylhet, and Barishal City Corporations, complemented by secondary data from national statistical agencies, the study develops a composite sustainability index employing standardized normalization, weighting, and factor analysis. Results reveal moderate sustainability performance across cities, with Rajshahi leading and Gazipur lagging, indicating uneven progress toward SDG integration and urban resilience. Correlation and nexus analyses further highlight strong interlinkages between water access, urban services, and climate risk perception, emphasizing the need for coordinated policy approaches. The study recommends city-specific sustainability roadmaps, focusing on inclusive water governance, waste management innovation, and climate adaptation mainstreaming. By combining empirical and policy-level insights, this research contributes to evidence-based urban sustainability planning in developing contexts and underscores the importance of SDG-driven monitoring frameworks for achieving the 2030 Agenda.
