Abstract: For a long period of time, urban development was only associated with economic growth hence resulting in development of cities as economic centre. Majority of the development and functions in these cities revolve around economy and its complimentary activities. With time the Sustainable development concept emerged which gives equal importance to Economy, Social and Environmental aspect to achieve Sustainable urban development. This approach was perceived as creation of Green cities with enormous Economic opportunity. Over the recent decades, the prospective to view the Sustainable Development has changed. At present it is realised that the most important aspect for Sustainable Development is creation of ‘Human Climate ’ i.e to creates the most desirable places for human to live and prosper and where human can establish connection with the distinctive character of his historic and natural environment. This paper provides an insight to the significance of culture and its symbiotic relationship with Sustainable Development. It also discusses various operational challenges associated with it.
