Discover new technique to increase the use of pedestrian transportation by focusing on modern evolution. It includes several things like people carrying things in the city and how it helps in making better city in transportation means. Method associates archaeology, observation, and statistics, and rest on systemic coding of photographical data. The environmental factors of public health and social equity present many challenges to a sustainable urbanism climate change, water shortage. Four principles of an environmental public health are conviviality, equity, sustainability and global responsibility which are used to derive imaginary concepts that can inform environmental public health thinking, which, among other things, provides a way of discovering the primary tools that link urban environments to public health and social equity. This surveys local sustainability initiatives through the lens of the “three pillars” of sustainability: economic development, environmental protection, and social equity. Analysis of a series of comparisons provides confirmation that several factors are interrelated with local government arrangement in sustainability initiatives, including population size, central city locations, diversity, political leanings of a community, and region. The global economy makes the achievement of sustainable urban development unreal. Investment in road production and maintenance is overcome by the recent rapid increase in the number and use of automobiles in the city. At the same time, official lack of concern continues in planning for alternative sustainable forms of transportation.
