Hypothesis testing using multiple linear regression confirmed that civil engineering projects contribute significantly to economic growth, improved urban infrastructure enhances citizens' quality of life, and sustainable engineering projects positively impact environmental preservation. The findings suggest that focusing on sustainable practices in civil engineering is essential for the long-term development of Rudsar City, improving both the economy and environmental health. Practical recommendations for local authorities and policymakers include prioritizing sustainable development in infrastructure projects to ensure positive long-term outcomes.
