Abstract
The first approach for environmentally sustainable development to the global community was introduced in 1992 in the United Nations conference on environment and development, the "Earth Summit", which took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.(genda21). Defining Sustainable development as the one that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
 
 Therefore, the study will focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals UN-SDGs and the making of Sustainable cities. The aim of the research is to propose a framework to transform Greater Khartoum into a Sustainable city and to find out criteria for an Assessment Method that is applicable for Greater Khartoum. Which including providing Safe affordable housing and basic services, Sustainable transportation, Sustainable home settlements in the three towns, protect culture and Natural Heritage, Reduce Waste including water, air and solid waste, public access, Green-space, Support positive economic, social, and environmental links between urban and rural areas, National and local disaster risk reduction strategies, Interlinkages and implications for policy-making
 
 In addition, the methodology of the research focuses on defining, identifying, and measuring the indicators and sub-items. The measurement applied through survey and questionnaire. Distributed and distribute to all engineers specialized in architecture, urban, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineers in the three cities (Khartoum-Khartoum North-Omdurman).
 
 Finally, the outcomes of the research, applying the criteria of SDGs to evaluate the present situation in sustainable development criteria in Greater Khartoum; most of the indicator record results the research recorded results show that the goals were not achieved in most of the situations, between (20-30) especially in services (Table 1), waste management and open spaces are average (40-49). Will provide valuable recommendations towards improving the future and urban planning and sustainable development for the Capital city.
Highlights
Greater Khartoum as a city consists of three towns (Khartoum, Omdurman and Khartoum North); it is suffering from many environmental problems like waste disposal, increase of CO2 emission from cars and industrial areas, water waste
This research is aiming to find sustainable city indicators according to SDGs11 sustainable development goals No.11 for UN
Phase 2 is applying the indicators on Khartoum city to find key performance indicator (KPI) measurement and percentage for each criterion
Summary
Greater Khartoum as a city consists of three towns (Khartoum, Omdurman and Khartoum North); it is suffering from many environmental problems like waste disposal, increase of CO2 emission from cars and industrial areas, water waste. The increase in migration towards Khartoum city in the last 20th years; these caused problems in services such as education, affordable houses for those people, hospitals, the basic life needs in goods, homes. This research is aiming to find sustainable city indicators according to SDGs11 sustainable development goals No. for UN. The project consists of two phases; phase one is finding out the indicators for the assessment of the sustainable city in a general framework.
