A declining sense of community amid has been associated with interactions within urban amenities and form that trigger social problems, diminish a community‟s well-being and delay development. The integration of a community within the urban physical realm contributes to the development of sustainable communities.

Qualitative community sustainability is investigated in Al-Wakrah city neighborhood through site visits, observation and interviews in order to establish a measure for urban characteristics that are catalysts for sustainable community development in future urban planning decisions.
