Analyzing the Effect of Sustainable Environmental Practices on the Formation of Social Urban Spaces

Abstract

Contemporary cities are undergoing radical transformations in their planning and design patterns due to the environmental and social challenges arising from rapid urban expansion. In this context, environmental sustainability emerges as a comprehensive framework aimed at achieving a balance between development requirements and the preservation of natural resources for future generations.

Sustainable environmental practices play a significant role in shaping urban spaces and enhancing the social dimension, taking into account fundamental communal human needs. The development of social urban spaces is one of the most important global challenges and is linked to concepts related to the quality of urban spaces and environmental practices. Most countries and policymakers continuously work using analytical methodologies and approaches to assess the impact of these practices on urban spaces, aiming to produce results that reflect the social conditions of urban residents. This is achieved through various indicators and criteria that help identify the current situation and propose fundamental development solutions while monitoring progress amid rapid urban growth and expansion. The study highlights numerous global experiences with both positive and negative impacts of sustainable practices on the formation of social urban spaces.
