Urban planning must align with sustainable development goals, focusing on compact, high-density, mixed-use, varied, and limited land-use specialization. The compact city model integrates social, economic, and environmental dimensions to create sustainable urban development. By emphasizing mixed land use and addressing social needs like employment and recreation, this model aims to reduce energy consumption, preserve biodiversity, lower infrastructure costs, and boost labor productivity. Following UN-Habitat guidelines can help achieve a balance between social, economic, and environmental objectives for sustainable development.
