Sustainable urbanism plays a crucial role in sustainable architecture as it focuses on creating sustainable and livable built environments, addressing issues such as land use, transportation, resource consumption, and community development. Sustainable urbanism emphasizes the importance of designing cities and communities with compact, mixed-use development patterns that encourage walking, biking, and the use of public transportation. It also promotes the use of green infrastructure, such as parks and open spaces, green roofs, and rainwater harvesting systems, to reduce stormwater runoff and improve air quality. Sustainable urbanism is therefore an essential element of sustainable architecture, as it helps to create buildings and communities that work in harmony with the environment and promote the well-being of their occupants.
