The case study considers the different challenges faced by implementing liveability in these two contexts, and the degree to which a liveability agenda has contributed to sustainable development in the two communities. The Town of Ahmedabad considers the sustainable development of the community to be about liveablity.

But 'liveability' as a term is exceedingly difficult to define. For , it is intrinsically tied.
