1.) The livable city, this topic has the most numerous research but the integration with other aspects remain limited and there are few studies regarding urban health.

2.) Sustainable Cities, which is second in research quantity but is still lacking the consideration of whether or not existing developments are sustainable and long term evaluation and monitoring of projects which are not sufficiently clear.

3.) Fairness and equity; most research does not cover this component and existing research on the topic remain ambiguous about discouraging discrimination against vulnerable groups in society and limited connections have been made to the issue of the city. There is also a lack of clarity regarding business ethics.

4.) Viable – Eco Efficiency; there is limited research on this topic because it is seldom put into action. Only few agencies are involved in this type of development. Existing research is not sufficiently decisive in its support of eco cities and compact cities, and there is also limited research on low-carbon cities.

5.) Urban governance, which has the least amount of existing research. Despite the existence of working committees and indicators, their work has been ambiguous and there is limited cooperation between agencies as well as participation in all stages of the operational development and evaluation. Consequently, it is advisable for the conceptual development of sustainable cities to focus on viable eco-efficiency and urban governance while also prioritising a comprehensive and integrated approach consistent with the international context as well operational research which can be realistically implemented. Future research should also correspond to the objective of sustainable development within 2030 for comprehensive academic research on sustainable cities.
