A country trying hard to its level best for making urbanization, industrialization and does not care about deforestation, pollution and its natural resources, what will be the end cause of that country in such a situation? and What is Sustainable Development?

It belongs to special region but main concept and approaches is general with exception of some local peculiarities!

The environmental Kuznets curve, a standard feature in the technical literature of environmental policy, means to demonstrate that environmental degradation will get worse as modern economic growth occurs until average income reaches a certain point in the course of development: summarizing, the solution to pollution is economic growth. Over the years, the environmental Kuznets curve has been the subject of continuing debate, circumstantial evidence in cases but not in others, and criticism including accusations that the curve does not really exist: we are left to ponder—with each passing day bringing more worrisome news—the accelerating global, regional, and local environmental degradation that the Sustainable Development Goals task us (and future generations) with remedying.

I don't think urbanization will ever end as agricultural technology continues to improve leading to higher levels of productivity in the agricultural sector. What do you mean by "end to industrialization". If you mean an end to increases in industrial employment, the answer is easy, increasing automation and productivity leading to fewer jobs being required to produce the same amount of goods. Countries that are in the state as you describe often don't care about those issues because they're trying to modernize and develop as fast as possible, however once these issues become prevalent they will begin to reconsider their mentality towards the environment. However, while industrialization and urbanization does not often take into account environmental impacts, once smog and poorer water quality become severe factors in decreasing the potential quality of life and increasing health costs, measures begin to be taken on decreasing air and water pollution, this was the point that the United States and Japan were in during the 1970s and 80s, and where China is now. The United States in the 1950s and 60s was one of the least environmentally friendly places on Earth especially in the Great Lakes region. Despite the decrease in pollution US industrial output actually rose after environmental actions began being taken, it was automation and foreign competition that led to the rust belt situation. Usually when countries end up in the situation that you described they begin modifying their factories to become more environmentally friendly look for sources of energy that emit much less pollution, and begin filtering water much more. The answer to deforestation is to limit the sprawl of cities, ban agricultural expansion in the forests. While we still got a long way to go, there are steps to take such as investing in alternate energy, public transportation, pollution filters and water filtering systems.
You may want to have a look at the ESPON SUPER project (Sustainable Urbanization and land use practrices in European regions), for interesting insights on sustainable urbanization.

Negative externalities of urbanization and then de-urbanization and in the end, probably, destroying the city similar to what happened in Harrappa & Mohenzodaro !!
The terms sustainable development, sustainable development and enduring development are applied to the organizing principle to achieve human development goals and at the same time sustain the capacity of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services on which the economy depends. economy and society. The desired result is a societal situation where living conditions and resources are used to continue meeting human needs without undermining the integrity and stability of the natural system. It can also be defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. I consider that with this information you can infer the answers to the questions: What is the end cause of urbanization and industrialization? What is Sustainable Development?
I agree with Giancarlo Cotella
Better economic opportunities, and better quality of life.
urbanization and industrialization are the end cause of urbanization and industrialization
Urbanization and industrialization are needed according to people demands. Just need a trade off between urbanization and preservation of nature to maintain SDGs target.
