Ecological urbanism and sustainable cities, reflections on the design and planning of cities in order to improve the quality of urban life

Abstract

Green urbanism and sustainable cities are concepts that focus on the design and planning of urban environments that promote the quality of life of inhabitants and minimize environmental impact. This bibliometric review explored research and academic publications related to city design and planning from an ecological and sustainable perspective. Through a comprehensive analysis, architectural and urban planning approaches that integrate ecological elements into the design of buildings and public spaces, the implementation of green infrastructure, and the promotion of sustainable mobility were identified. The social, economic and environmental impacts of green urban interventions were also assessed, as well as the policies and strategies used to promote urban sustainability. The main purpose of this research focused on identifying current trends, emerging research areas and best practices in the field of green urbanism and sustainable cities. The results of this research provide valuable information for practitioners, researchers and decision-makers in the field of urban planning and urban planning.
