The Urban Habitat

The urban habitat refers to the environment created by cities and towns, where people live, work, and interact. It includes buildings, roads, parks, and public spaces, shaped by human activity and influenced by social, economic, and cultural factors. Urban habitats often aim to balance functionality with sustainability, addressing challenges like congestion, pollution, and resource management. They provide essential services, foster community interaction, and can enhance quality of life. A well-designed urban habitat promotes healthy living, accessibility, and biodiversity while responding to the needs of its residents and the environment.
