Abstract
Sustainable development and economic growth have become increasingly important issues in modern society. Since the concept of sustainable development was proposed, countries have been exploring ways to achieve sustainable development under the premise of good economic development. This article takes two friendly cities, Chengdu in China and Sheffield in the UK, as examples and uses the PESTLE analysis method to comprehensively analyze the relationship between sustainable development and economic growth, and make a comparative analysis of the two cities. Based on this, the study found that economic growth and sustainable development have a mutually reinforcing role. Economic growth is beneficial to the realization of sustainable development, and sustainable development also promotes economic growth. Sustainable development and economic growth can be achieved simultaneously in a number of ways. Therefore, it is suggested that all regions should promote coordinated development of the economy, environment, society, and other aspects to promote high-quality sustainable development in the region.
