Project Abstract

Abstract
The management of waste in urban areas is a critical environmental issue that requires sustainable solutions to mitigate its adverse impacts. This research project focuses on the assessment of sustainable waste management strategies in urban areas, aiming to evaluate current practices, identify challenges, and propose effective solutions for improved waste management. The study is guided by a comprehensive literature review that explores existing knowledge on waste management practices, sustainability principles, and urban challenges related to waste management. The research methodology includes a mixed-method approach, incorporating quantitative data analysis and qualitative case studies to provide a holistic understanding of the subject matter. The findings reveal various sustainable waste management strategies, including waste reduction, recycling, composting, and waste-to-energy technologies, which can be implemented to enhance urban waste management practices. The discussion of findings delves into the implications of these strategies on waste management efficiency, environmental sustainability, and socioeconomic factors. The conclusion emphasizes the significance of adopting sustainable waste management strategies in urban areas to promote a cleaner environment, reduce landfill waste, and mitigate environmental pollution. Overall, this research contributes to the body of knowledge on sustainable waste management and provides valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and environmental practitioners to enhance waste management practices in urban areas.
