The high rate of urbanization witnessed in the 21 st century has increased the pressure in seeking cities that not only are economically vibrant but also greener, socially inclusive and sustainable. An inclusive and sustainable city is a city which makes accessible opportunities, resources and basic services to all its citizens regardless of their gender, old-age, disability, income and cultural backgrounds whilst at the same time advancing environmental stewardship as well as resilience. In the paper, the author investigates the intersection between inclusivity and sustainability as two principles of an urban development. It identifies the significance of participatory governance, affordable housing, effective public transport system, green infrastructure, and the digital world in creating the equitable urban environment. It further looks at the issues of increased inequality, environmental degradations and climatic changes, and suggests strategic opportunities of developing cities that are resilient, just and adaptive. With the encouragement of inclusivity in tandem to sustainability, cities can become means of prosperity that guarantee human dignity, social equity and sustainability to the current and future generations.
