This study analyzes the management of multilevel public governance in the implementation of policies for the execution of sustainable development projects. The methodology applied was based on documentary-hermeneutic analysis with critical appraisal. Several examples illustrate progress in sustainable projects with conservation and inclusiveness programs that promote citizen well-being, although obstacles such as fragmentation at different levels of government, bureaucracy, and financial limitations persist. The study describes sustainable public management (SPM) as an integrative meeting point for political, environmental, social, and economic dimensions, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The readings identified the need to strengthen legal structural frameworks and coordinate actions capable of promoting citizen participation. Technological innovation is emerging as a key tool for optimizing public services for citizens and linking urban projects to global situations. However, it is necessary to train public officials, invest in digital infrastructure, and establish partnerships with third parties. A comprehensive approach that harmonizes economic development, inclusiveness, equity, and nature protection is definitely required. To achieve this, local government and citizen participation must be empowered; these are key players in the sustainability-social well-being nexus.

Palabras clave : sustainable public policies; multi-level governance; technological innovation; citizen participation; sustainable development goals.
