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.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly changing the way work is done, including organization, allocation, and the importance of skills. However, while there is substantial research on the effects of AI on work in developed economies, the same is not true for South Asian countries, where there is a lack of theory and research. This paper attempts to bridge this gap through a theory-informed analysis of the effects of AI on employment structures in South Asian economies, supported through a systematic review of secondary literature.
