In this study we developed a new method to provide long term perspectives of urban growth and quality of urban life in global 3600 cities during 21st century under the environment and resource constraints. Based on this developed method, we analyzed the impacts of population and economic growth, technology progress, and climate change on urban activities and its difference between regions. This study represented the interaction between urban activities and global environment through the basic resources like water and land, and assessed its impact on the urban quality of life over the global cities. The findings of this study can be referable in wide range of policy studies like regional development and climate change. This study would contribute to progress of studies in the combined field of urban and transport planning, hydrology, environmental system and public policies.
