“…In a broader sense, urban infrastructure refers to the built environment, which includes structures and equipment for energy, transportation, water supply, sewage treatment, and solid waste disposal [22]. The quality of life and comfort of urban people is, in reality, determined by the state of the urban infrastructure [23].…”

Urban geology is the study of the different geological elements that impact and restrict human activities in engineering and economics inside urban areas. Over half of the world's population, or 4.2 billion people, lived in urban areas in 2018. Projections suggest that by 2030, this figure will rise to nearly 5 billion. Notably, the majority of this urban growth is anticipated to occur in developing countries, with towns and cities in these regions accommodating around 80% of the urban population by 2030, as stated by the United Nations Population Fund in 2007. A quick and comprehensive review of the literature reveals the growing importance of urban geology as an emerging area of study as well as the vitality of geosciences for natural disaster mitigation, resource management, sustainability, and understanding geological processes and natural hazards. Interdisciplinary research and collaboration between geologists, engineers, architects, urban planners, and policymakers at the national and local levels is inevitable given the current acceleration of urbanization and rapid environmental degradation as a backdrop. Geology is also an essential part of site selection, infrastructure design, and construction, water resources management, land use planning, and environmental protection during the urban planning and development phases. Incorporating geoscience insights into planning processes and raising public awareness allows cities to be planned and managed in ways that promote sustainable development, and resilience to natural disasters, and safeguard residents' health and well-being. In order to construct safer, more resilient, and sustainable cities for our communities and future generations, geoscience education and research must be acknowledged within the scientific research agendas related to urban planning, development, and transformation endeavors. Given the above, this study aims to examine the close relationship of geosciences with urban planning and development activities and to investigate and analyze the impact of geological factors on the urbanization process. This research also aims to raise public awareness about the importance of geology among the people who live in urban areas.

“…For instance, green buildings will use non-energy-demanding approaches to take advantage of the buildings' natural opportunities, such as wind, to increase natural ventilation and reduce the temperature to an adequate level. The green design also uses passive strategies to simplify natural ventilation [68], better daylighting [69] and combat the impacts of climate change [70] by considering space layout, openings' size, and building orientation from the early design stages. Bluyssen et al (2016) say that using the building's envelope and the suitable insulation materials in the exterior walls are also important ways to improve the thermal comfort of the interior [40].…”

The rapid growth of the global population and urbanization has led to environmental degradation, resulting in a worldwide energy crisis. In response, the quality of architecture has evolved to prioritize energy efficiency, impacting indoor human health in the process. Green buildings have emerged as a solution to this problem, aiming to improve indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and human well-being while minimizing negative environmental impacts. This comprehensive review focuses on the role of green buildings in enhancing indoor human health and energy efficiency. It examines the published research on the effects of green buildings on IEQ and occupant health, highlighting sustainable architectural practices that promote good health. The study concludes that green buildings provide healthier environments for their occupants by creating healthy indoor environments, and minimizing negative environmental impacts. The study also explores the link between sustainable architecture and health promotion, with a focus on IEQ. It presents evidence-based and biophilic design strategies that can impact treatments and health promotion in the built environment. Overall, this review emphasizes the critical role that green buildings can play in addressing the global energy crisis while promoting the health and well-being of building occupants.

The article presents the systematization of crises events arising in the process of functioning and development of the city as a complex system with a large number of different components interacting in a dynamic manner. The city is analyzed as an object that consists of a multitude of systems and subsystems, whose life interests on one hand foster development and on the other, limit each other's growth. As they change under the pressure of external and internal factors, these elements encounter limitations imposed by adjacent systems, leading to conflicts in the life interests of the city's subsystems. In this case, the contradictions are necessary and inevitable conditions for the development of any system, providing its mutability under changing external conditions of existence. Practically, they act as the driving force of development, prompting the system to alter its properties. City risks losing its ability to adapt and becoming vulnerable to external influences and internal disturbances. The study uses ideas taken from systems theory and synergetics, which allow for conclusions that the city as a system demonstrates a classic case of the "Law of Unity and Conflict of Opposites", where there is a constant balancing between the need to maximize self-preservation and survive in a changing world. On the other hand ‒ the aspiration for changes, sometimes leading to crisis. These systemic contradictions can be resolved by sophisticated regulation or can be exacerbated by wrong decisions. This approach offers new horizons for urban planning, where every step should be deliberate and aimed at providing sustainable development, consolidation of the social structure and a higher quality of life for citizens. With this perspective, city governments can transform potential crises into opportunities for the development and modernization of urban environments.
