Abstract: This research endeavors to assess the untapped potential of eco - tourism in Ranchi City, situated in the eastern state of Jharkhand, India. As urbanization accelerates and environmental concerns escalate, the need for sustainable development becomes imperative. Ranchi, endowed with rich biodiversity, lush greenery, and a diverse cultural heritage, presents a unique opportunity for the promotion of eco - tourism as a catalyst for sustainable urban development. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating environmental science, tourism management, and urban planning methodologies. Through extensive field surveys, interviews, and data analysis, the research aims to identify key ecological assets and cultural landmarks within Ranchi that could be leveraged to create a compelling eco - tourism narrative. Additionally, the research assesses the current state of infrastructure, accessibility, and hospitality services in Ranchi to identify potential areas for improvement to accommodate eco - tourism initiatives. Furthermore, the study examines the perceptions and attitudes of local communities towards eco - tourism, considering their role as stakeholders in fostering sustainable practices. The findings of this research are expected to provide valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and local communities to develop a comprehensive eco - tourism strategy that not only promotes economic growth but also ensures the preservation of Ranchi's natural and cultural assets. By embracing eco - tourism as a sustainable approach to urban development, Ranchi has the potential to become a model city that balances economic progress with environmental conservation, contributing to the global discourse on responsible tourism and sustainable city planning.
