Abstract: Urban built environments face growing challenges associated with waterlogging, drainage inefficiency, traffic congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate related infrastructure risks. Existing studies usually examine these issues as separate engineering problems, resulting in limited integration across urban water systems, transportation networks, and built environment infrastructure. This study presents an integrated framework for Urban Water Mobility and Emission Resilience Planning for Built Environment Infrastructure. The proposed methodology combines urban water management, mobility assessment, emission evaluation, and infrastructure resilience within a unified analytical model. Secondary datasets from water utilities, transportation systems, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure records are processed through data cleaning, normalization, indicator calculation, and statistical validation. The framework computes the Water Mobility Index, Emission Resilience Index, Infrastructure Resilience Index, and Urban Sustainability Score to evaluate overall infrastructure performance. A representative assessment demonstrates the applicability of the proposed model for comparing urban system conditions and identifying planning priorities. The study offers a structured approach for integrating water, transportation, and environmental information into infrastructure planning and supports informed decision making for sustainable and climate resilient urban development.
