However, there are a few factors that need to be attention to gain better outcomes in this sector. The role of language cannot be forgotten in this regard but the significance of architecture and its ability to communicate has no comparison. This paper aims to investigate the impact of architectural language on sustainable tourism by conducting a literature review. The outcomes of the study showed a positive influence of architecture and its language on tourists and the phenomenon of tourism.

They can protect the country from environmental degradation and energy waste damage and accelerate innovation, development, and employment opportunities for its people. The big cities of India have been facing a critical issue of overpopulation for many years due to the high migration of people from rural to urban areas in search of employment and safe shelter. This extreme migration is causing severe damage to the infrastructure of cities, road conditions, and damage natural resources, waste accumulation, air and water population, and severe health issues to its people. Developing practical and implementable strategies to plan and construct sustainable buildings and cities in India is highly needed to protect them from environmental damage and economic difficulties. To explore the effect of sustainable construction of cities, this study is being planned that find its efficiency in the economic development of India. The present study aims to summarize significant findings from previous studies exploring the impact of sustainable cities in different countries.
Hypothesis: It is assumed that sustainable cities in developing countries such as India can enhance the country's economic growth and development and positively impact its social and environmental domains by implementing ideas and strategies related to sustainability.
Research Method: PICOS will be developed to conduct this study, and a formal search string will be formed. The keywords will be run on different online databases. The official protocol will be adhered to, which entails screening articles at the title and abstract review stage, reviewing the entire text, and creating a data extraction sheet. Bias risk will also be considered during the screening process. To illustrate the similarities and differences between the findings of the included studies, odds ratios will be presented in tables and block diagrams.

The development of smart cities is becoming a need of the present era due to the swift increase in population and environmental issues globally. Smart cities are being introduced in different regions of the world with the incorporation of latest technologies. The incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the tools that can be used in smart building and cities. AI technologies are transforming public safety, trash management, healthcare, traffic control, and resource management, making cities more sustainable, effective, and responsive to their citizens' demands. There are still lack of awareness in some areas of the world on the efficacy of smart building and construction that is impacting negatively on the economy and growth of those countries.; such as Pakistan is one of those countries that is facing serious challenges due to increased population, urban migration, and poor management of natural resources. The need of planning smart strategies for smart building is very crucial to manage population and housing issues. Smart buildings and cities provide unique and convenient facilities to its residents so that they can contribute positively towards the economy of country. This paper focuses at important areas where AI has the most effects in order to investigate how integrating AI improves quality of life in smart cities. The aim is to highlight artificial intelligence's contribution to improving urban operations, streamlining resource management, and advancing sustainability. Additionally, potential concerns about privacy, data security, and fair access will be discussed. In order to show how AI-driven innovations like predictive analytics, machine learning, and IoT-enabled systems are changing the urban environment, the study synthesizes existing research and real-world examples. The evaluation also covers how AI promotes smart government, tailored urban services, and citizen involvement. The conclusion emphasizes that although AI has great potential to improve the quality of life in smart cities, implementation of the technology must be done in a balanced way to prioritize inclusive policies and ethical concerns for the general welfare of residents.

and energy. The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy of 5G technologies in the architecture and construction industry. The
study benefits from an extensive literature review to discuss the advantages and challenges in incorporating 5G in smart buildings.
5G is found to be needed to maximize the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and IoT in architecture in order to be able to efficiently
enhance the features of smart buildings by managing energy and waste.

To attain the objectives, a crosssectional study was planned by developing a structured questionnaire. The data was gathered online through Google forms from professionals; such as architects, engineers and environment specialists. The data revealed that there is a positive impact of effective government policies on sustainable housing and residents' comfort in Pakistan that is a positive sign for the growth of architecture and construction industry. However, there is a serious need to study the concept of sustainable housing in Pakistan through various dimensions so that its application and practicality can become possible to attain financial growth in local and international market.

The public healthcare sector is overburdened, leading to a situation where 65% of the population has to pay for medical expenses Out-of-Pocket (OPP). The increasing population exacerbates this financial burden, where quantity leads to compromises in the quality of life, affecting both rural and urban households. Larger household sizes bring more healthcare costs for families. Family planning proves challenging due to stigma and religious issues, which hinder open discussions, education on reproductive health, and preventing in making choices about family size and spacing.
Objectives: The aim is to highlight the importance of household size for healthcare spending in rural and urban settings.
Methods: A desk-based health economics modeling study, utilized published sources to collect household health expenditure and income data for 2016 and projected to 2022 to argument the recent findings. We calculated average values due to the disparity found in data. Household health expenditure was computed by multiplying the monthly health expenditure per capita by the household size, allowing for a comparison of urban and rural health spending in 2016 and an extrapolation to 2022. Additionally, the Health Expenditure to Income ratio was calculated to measure the proportion of healthcare expenses allocated to household income in both urban and rural regions. Costs were reported in US$ and converted to PKR.
Results: In 2016, the average household size in urban areas was 7.2, slightly higher than the 6.5 in rural areas. Annual health expenditure per capita was $37, equivalent to 3.1 US$ monthly or converted to 857 PKR per capita. Multiplying this per capita cost by household size resulted in average household health expenditure of 6,172 PKR in urban areas and 5,572 PKR in rural areas. Extrapolating to 2022, it reached 9,257 PKR in urban areas and 8,357 PKR in rural areas. Average monthly earnings were 35,662 PKR in 2016, rising to 41,545 PKR in 2019, and projected to reach 47,428 PKR in 2022. This enabled computation of the OOP Health Expenditure to Income ratio, which stood at 19.5% in urban areas and 17.6% in rural regions.
Conclusions/Policy Implications: The findings advocate the need for cost-effective healthcare and family planning interventions, as well as economic improvement measures, particularly in rural areas, to address the proportion of healthcare spending in household income.
