Abstract
Pollution can originate from fixed, mobile, and local sources, due to human activity or naturally occurring processes. The well-developed cities contribute to over 70% of global carbon emissions. This paper analyses the parameters that contribute to achieving healthy, environmentally sustainable cities. A strategic planning framework is introduced to implement efficient and effective strategies for future sustainable cities. Therefore, the paper aims to identify and examine successful factors within a framework to reduce negative environmental impacts from air pollution designed for future sustainable cities. Data is collected from locations that reflect the nature of human settlement and well-being, and Advanced SWOT analysis was conducted to see the success factors. Data analyses reveal many factors that must be monitored to achieve SDG 11 targets. The results show how air quality affects people's health and social living conditions in urbanised areas. Comparisons between pre-and-post Covid 19 indicated the impact of the pandemic on air quality and showed evidence of possible reductions in air pollution when activities are reduced. The method used for this research is analysing the data recorded from a network of environmental stations constructed at different sites in the Emirate of Ajman. The achieved framework consists of strategies categorised into five main categories, formed by different functional layers, to demonstrate actions needed by the government. Recommendations have been drawn from the findings, and if considered, it could be possible to achieve sustainable air quality.
