The analysis was carried out using a panel regression model with fixed effect. Findings The results show a significant relationship between urban entrepreneurship and economic sustainability; and also, a significant relationship between public management and economic sustainability among developing African countries. Practical Implications This implies that developing countries need to offer incentives to the private sector to encourage entrepreneurial activities which will subsequently improve economic sustainability. Originality/Value This study adds to literature by examining the nexus of urban entrepreneurship, public management and sustainability among developing countries in a single model using quantitative approach.
