The burgeoning challenges of rapid urbanization, climate change, and resource depletion necessitate a paradigm shift in urban infrastructure towards sustainability. the intersection of green building technologies and urban planning as pivotal components in fostering sustainable urban development. In recent years, green building technologies have emerged as a cornerstone of sustainable urban infrastructure. From energy-efficient design to the integration of renewable energy sources, these technologies offer solutions to mitigate the environmental impact of urbanization while enhancing residents' quality of life. Furthermore, innovations such as passive design strategies, green roofs, and smart building systems demonstrate the potential to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in urban environments.
