As cities continue to grow and reshape the world it becomes crucial to consider the intersection of conservation and human rights, in planning. This research paper explores the concept of eco development focusing on the balance needed to achieve sustainable urban growth while protecting fundamental human rights. By examining case studies from contexts, analysing how eco centric development practices impact and are influenced by considerations of human rights. Researcher investigates the challenges faced by marginalized communities in relation to initiatives addressing issues such as displacement, access to resources and the right to an environment. Additionally, the researcher explores how local governance, international frameworks and legal mechanisms can reconcile interests and foster inclusive urban development. Through a review of existing literature and empirical evidence this research aims to contribute insights to the ongoing discussion on sustainable urban planning. The researcher propose strategies for harmonizing conservation with human rights protection offering guidance, for policymakers, urban planners, and advocacy groups who seek to implement eco-centric development models that prioritize both environmental sustainability and safeguarding human rights within urban landscapes.
