is sustainable development is a part of economic development
No, Sustainable development is not a part of economic development. Infact, economic development is a part of sustainable development. This is because sustainable development means that development should take place without damaging the environment, and development in the present should not compromise with the needs of the future generations. Thus, sustainable development is a wider concept and takes economic development under its ambit. Also, long term and continuous economic development gives way to sustainable development.
