      abstract = {Sustainable facility management (FM) has emerged as a critical enabler for addressing the unique challenges of urbanization in emerging economies, where rapid population growth, infrastructure deficits, and resource constraints converge. This proposes a conceptual framework for sustainable facility management tailored to the realities of emerging urban economies, integrating economic viability, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility. The framework builds on the principles of the triple bottom line, lifecycle management, and resilience theory, positioning FM as a strategic function that extends beyond operational efficiency to encompass long-term urban sustainability. Key drivers shaping sustainable FM include economic imperatives such as cost efficiency and value creation; environmental demands such as energy optimization, carbon reduction, and resource circularity; social considerations including occupant well-being, inclusivity, and community engagement; and technological enablers such as smart systems, digital twins, and predictive analytics. The framework outlines six core components: strategic alignment with urban development policies; resource efficiency across energy, water, and materials; lifecycle-based asset management; technology integration for real-time monitoring and optimization; stakeholder engagement in co-creating sustainable services; and governance mechanisms aligned with global and local sustainability standards. Emerging urban economies face barriers such as financial constraints, limited technical expertise, and weak institutional enforcement; however, opportunities exist through green financing, public?private partnerships, technological leapfrogging, and community-driven innovation. The proposed model conceptualizes sustainable FM as a dynamic process involving inputs (resources, policies, stakeholder priorities), processes (planning, operations, monitoring), outputs (efficient and inclusive facilities), and outcomes (resilience, economic savings, enhanced quality of life). By embedding sustainability into FM practices, the framework provides a pathway for governments, organizations, and urban managers to advance resilient, affordable, and inclusive infrastructure systems. It highlights the role of facility management as a catalyst for sustainable urban transformation in emerging economies.},
