A sustainable neighborhood offers a distinctive physical and social reality that seems to have a profound influence mostly on the environment and the residents who live there. The main purpose of the study is to inspect the sustainable management of urban facilities in Khulna city on a neighborhood scale by considering social, economic, and environmental aspects. Moreover, this research is conducted to determine the connection between the underlying variables that contribute to the sustainability of the city. The study is conducted by using a qualitative approach. Landsat data, photographs, walkthrough analysis, and content analysis are used as analysis tools. From the outcomes, it's visible that in the case of neighborhood-scale, there are many diversities in sustainable management of urban facilities in Khulna city. It is identified that from the selected seven neighborhoods, mostly planned, higher and middle-income groups of neighborhoods (Sonadanga, Babukhan Road) are close to fulfilling sustainability principles. However, these neighborhoods also have many challenges. In contrast, unplanned and lower-income groups of neighborhoods (Lobonchora, Joragate, Khalishpur, Gollamari, Musolman Para) are completely detached from the characteristics of neighborhood sustainability. The challenges to achieving sustainability in different neighborhoods are highlighted in this study, and recommendations are suggested relevant to these issues. The results can provide a new view of the field of sustainable development and act as a benchmark for other studies. Policymakers and planners may apply this as a source of urban planning and urban management to achieve the goals of sustainable development.
