Perspectives of Malaysian local authorities on the development of sustainable cities and communities (SCC) are examined in this study, with a focus on the effects of cost-benefit analysis (CBA), private finance initiatives, and risk management. Additionally, the challenges faced by local authorities in developing SCC are presented. A qualitative method was used, involving face-to-face interviews with local authorities. Content analysis was conducted, and the results show that CBA, private finance initiatives, and risk management have a significant impact on the development of SCC. The primary challenge in implementing SCC is the limited funding available to support their implementation. This study sheds light on the importance of considering CBA, private finance initiatives, and risk management in developing SCC from the perspective of Malaysian local authorities. The findings also highlight the need for more funding and resources to support SCC implementation in Malaysia. © 2023 WITPress. All rights reserved.
