The paper explores Lahore's rapid urbanization and its effects on social cohesion and sustainability. Nearly 38% of Pakistan's population lives in cities, urban expansion has led to overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, and declining living conditions. This study categorizes Lahore's urban forms based on physical traits like street layout and building density, analyzing their influence on residents' lifestyles and sustainability. The research highlights how Lahore's development has created isolated neighborhoods, reduced social interactions, and weakened social capital. It emphasizes the need for planners to create inclusive, community-driven spaces. By classifying different urban typologies and assessing their spatial, social, and economic characteristics, the study examines their impact on community sustainability. It focuses on the connection between urban planning and social cohesion, offering insights for future urban policies. Ultimately, the research aims to promote a more integrated and sustainable urban environment in Lahore, ensuring better living conditions and stronger community ties.
