“Green Urbanism” explores how cities can evolve into balanced ecosystems that prioritize human well-being alongside environmental health. It examines the integration of nature into urban design, the use of sustainable building materials, and eco-conscious planning, highlighting the necessity for sustainable urban development to combat environmental challenges.
The book emphasizes how innovative architectural designs and urban planning policies can mitigate climate change, reduce pollution, and conserve resources, while also promoting equitable and accessible urban environments.

This book stands out by adopting a holistic, integrated approach to green urbanism, moving beyond individual buildings to examine broader systems. It begins with core concepts like ecological design and social equity, progresses through topics such as green infrastructure, sustainable building materials, and urban planning strategies, and concludes with global case studies, providing a practical guide for creating sustainable, resilient, and equitable cities.
This comprehensive and accessible book is a valuable resource for architects, urban planners, and anyone passionate about sustainability and environmental conservation.
