Abstract

Urban water and waste management are critical in achieving sustainability, particularly in coastal cities that face unique challenges from rapid urbanization and climate change. These pressures demand innovative approaches to resource management that balance environmental stability, economic resilience, and social well-being. This article explores the intersection of cutting-edge technologies, adaptive urban planning, and participatory governance models, offering insights into how these approaches contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 6 and SDG 11. The findings emphasize the importance of adopting holistic strategies that integrate zero-waste policies, enhanced recycling programs, extended producer responsibility (EPR), and community engagement. By leveraging innovation, circular economy principles, and active community participation, cities can build adaptable systems that ensure long-term sustainability, improve quality of life, and support global efforts toward environmental and social progress
