Abstract

This research paper aims to comprehensively analyze the influence of urban design on the environment. The urban environment is a complex interplay of physical, social, and ecological elements, with urban design playing a pivotal role in shaping these dynamics. This paper synthesizes existing literature, case studies, and empirical evidence to provide a holistic understanding of how urban design decisions can either mitigate or exacerbate environmental challenges. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this research sheds light on the various aspects of urban design that directly impact air quality, green spaces, energy consumption, and overall sustainability. Furthermore, it explores innovative design strategies and policy interventions to create more environmentally resilient cities.
