ABSTRACT
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of urban development dynamics within the United States, using a dataset provided by the International City/County Management Association (ICMA). The study aims to identify and understand the factors that significantly affect urban growth and sustainability. Through rigorous preprocessing and validation processes, including factor analysis and comparative studies, the study examined variables such as infrastructure development, forms of local government, regional influences, and service provisions. The results highlighted the critical role of infrastructure development in urban growth, with a strong correlation between well-developed infrastructure and sustainable urban development. The form of government and regional characteristics also emerged as influential factors, affecting policy formulation and resource allocation. Notably, services provided by local governments were found to be crucial in supporting urban development. This study sheds light on the complexities of urban development dynamics and offers insights into how policy, governance, and infrastructure impact urban growth and sustainability. It underscores the necessity for tailored approaches that consider local contexts and the specific needs of urban populations. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research, emphasizing the need for longitudinal studies, qualitative insights, and policy impact assessments to build upon the findings and support the development of effective urban development strategies.
Keywords: Urban, Infrastructure development, Local government, Service provision, and Policy impact.
