This article analyses the economic dimensions of sustainable communities around the idea of Sustainable Development Goal 11 -"Sustainable Cities and Communities." Examining the important themes, infrastructure, public safety, and social justice, we take a theory-practice based approach and draw in a select amount of secondary data from government agencies such as NCRB & MOSPI along with some existing literature. While this paper is not heavily data-driven, we discuss the developments that have occurred in Gujarat within the emerging idea of sustainability in everyday human life.
