Abstract: This article aims to verify the sustainability indicators that constitute a model for measuring healthy and sustainable cities and their perception of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations. To achieve this, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify sustainability indicators in healthy sustainable cities and, subsequently, included in a questionnaire. A questionnaire was administered in the city of Florianópolis, and subsequently, the results were analyzed through descriptive statistics. The relationship between these indicators and the United Nations’ sustainable development goals was analyzed. A major contribution of this article lies in the methodology used for generating the model comprising indicators derived from the literature and validated through field research involving the local population. A contribution lies in the theoretical contribution involving the construction of a comprehensive framework of relevant articles on the topic of healthy sustainable cities. From a practical standpoint, this research generates actionable knowledge for municipal administrations, thus aiding in the promotion of sustainable development goals.
