520			_aSince the 1960s, urban livability has been an ongoing topic of discussion. It has been proven that urban livability itself has numerous benefits, including bettering quality of life and health. But only countries with high incomes are included for determining livability, which leaves countries with low or middle incomes out of balance. This study closes the aforementioned gap by evaluating the economic, social, and hydrological aspects of nature-based solutions in order to determine how livable of low-and-middle income countries are. First, the ESHA framework will be developed to evaluate urban livability based on the indicators of the fixed dimensions combined with the SMART analysis method to select the final indicators for the framework. The research area, Banana Island, was then surveyed, relevant documents were cross-referenced, and the InVEST urban stormwater retention model was used to determine the current state of livability. Lastly, suggest green infrastructure like green roofs and raingardens while rerunning the model to assess the method's efficacy and weigh the costs and advantages, expenses to decide on the best options for the research field. The successful development of the ESHA framework for LMICs urban livability evaluation is one of the most significant key findings to date. Data from surveys collected for the ESHA framework provided a comprehensive picture of the livability of the research area. Reducing the likelihood of flooding in the area can be achieved by utilizing the InVEST urban stormwater retention model in conjunction with data from multiple reliable sources. By using natural substitutes, floods can be lessened, and the local ecology can be preserved. These valuable findings can help policymakers make beneficial policies, promote and increase the use of green solutions in the future, bringing benefits to each person and the community.
