Abstract

Abstract: As one of China's largest cities, Shanghai faced significant challenges during its rapid urbanization, including housing supply-demand imbalances, traffic congestion, and environmental pollution. In response to these issues, this paper examined urban sustainability in Shanghai within the framework of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal. The Shanghai Municipal Government took proactive steps to improve urban livability by implementing various measures such as increasing the supply of affordable housing, expanding and enhancing public transportation systems, strengthening environmental governance, and improving public safety. These initiatives were specifically designed to address the pressing issues of housing shortages, traffic congestion, and environmental pollution, with the ultimate goal of improving residents' quality of life and enhancing the city's overall attractiveness. Through an extensive literature review and case analysis, this study proposed several additional improvement measures. These included continuing to increase land supply, tightening real estate market regulations, promoting the adoption of green transportation methods, enhancing intelligent traffic management systems, reinforcing environmental supervision and governance, and improving the overall quality of public services. The research offered valuable insights for other cities striving to achieve sustainable development goals, providing practical strategies for further enhancing urban livability and ensuring long-term sustainability..
