“…In summary, based on the perspective of the new development philosophy, taking the five dimensions of "innovation, coordination, greenness, development and sharing" as the firstlevel objectives, and with the help of the United Nations SDGs system and the interpretation of the 17 major objectives in the Country Programs, the objectives of the five dimensions have been refined, and the internal indicators have been constructed to reflect the common characteristics of sustainable urban development and the special characteristics of sustainable development of plateau lakeside cities. At the same time, with the help of Yunnan Province's "14th Five-Year Plan" and "3815" goals, and with reference to the sustainable development index system of Deqing (http:// www.deqing-sdgs.cn/), Shenzhen (Shenzhen Sustainable Development Assessment Report 2016, Lincang (Lincang city sustainable development plan (2018-2030), 2019) and other cities (Cao et al, 2023;Ndeketeya and Dundu, 2023), the connotative indexes were refined, and localized specific indexes were constructed on the basis of quantifiable and accessible data, and the index system shown in Table 1 was finally obtained, which includes 26 connotative indexes and 84 specific indexes.…”

IntroductionSustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is another binding target indicator system proposed by the United Nations after the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Scientific monitoring of the state of sustainable development of cities can provide a reference for the progress of the implementation of the SDGs, and also provide research support for the successful achievement of the sustainable development of cities around the world.MethodsAlthough the indicator system proposed by the United Nations has drawn a vision of global sustainable development and given an evaluation framework and methodology, it fails to and is unlikely to encompass the rich connotations of China's new development philosophy. Therefore, this study takes the new development philosophy as the fundamental guideline, refers to the SDGs assessment system, and constructs a theoretical and methodological framework for assessing the sustainable development of plateau lakeside cities from the five dimensions of "innovation, coordination, greenness, openness, and sharing", and carries out empirical investigation in the research area of Kunming City, a typical plateau lakeside city.MethodsIt is found that the sustainable development level of Kunming is at a medium level, with a relatively fast development speed, but the growth momentum has slowed down; the development level of each dimension is relatively low, with a slow development speed, showing a fluctuating upward trend; the change in the level of coordinated development shows two states of low and medium coordination, showing a steady increase; the contribution of the five philosophies of relevance is sorted as: "Openness>Sharing>Green>Coordination>Innovation", and openness is the most important factor affecting the sustainable development level of plateau lakeside cities.DiscussionThis study demonstrates the need to enhance the level of sustainable development of cities by exploring their internal trade-offs and potential internal contributions.

This study examines the sufficiency of water for potable and non-potable demand. Firstly, the challenges and sufficiency of existing water sources for potable and non-potable demand are examined by considering the water gallon delivery at the doorstep, government supply line, tanker-based supply, and extraction of water through bore wells. Secondly, the costeffectiveness of several water sources is examined by using four models, i.e., Model 1-Model 4. Each model combines sources of water (i.e., government supply line, water tankers, bore wells, mineral water delivery, and rainwater harvesting system) for potable and non-potable demand. A comparison is drawn between the cost-effectiveness of current practices and the rainwater harvesting system. The rainwater harvesting system is designed based on average rainfall data for different catchment areas and a dynamic range of residents. The findings suggest that the rainwater harvesting system is more cost-effective compared to conventional sources of water; however, it needs to be coupled with the government supply line to meet the non-potable water demand. On average, five additional houses can be covered by the rainwater harvesting system (minimum =3 and maximum =9) with a mean profit of 462149 PKR (minimum =233318 PKR and maximum =754810 PKR). Thus, even if the harvested water is not sufficient to meet the non-potable demand, it can still be preferred as a source of potable water due to its cost-effectiveness. Implications are drawn to help government and practitioners in considering sustainable actions for social well-being and promoting rain harvesting through rebates.
