Abstract

As achieving sustainable urban development is vital to the future of the world, there is much focus on promoting urban sustainability assessment in Chinese cities. This study presents a set of adaptive models, an assessing framework, and the indicator systems for measuring the two goals of urban sustainability in China, taking Xiamen, for example. The study promotes the urban sustainability assessment by modifying the coupling coordination framework and applying the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The findings suggest that the cosmos model is suitable to refine the coupling coordination model. Additionally, the framework and indicator systems built in this study promote urban sustainability assessment as they can detect potential problems, develop urban characteristics, and effectively utilize SDGs’ advantages. In closing, compared with previous studies, this paper offers a practicable approach for research institutes, urban managers, and the public to measure urban sustainability, thereby promoting urban sustainability through the adjustment and development of urban planning, construction, and management.
