Abstract
The development of sustainable and resilient physical infrastructure is essential for tackling the challenges posed by urbanization, climate change, and socio-economic inequalities. ( UN-Habitat 2020). This research investigates the significance of physical infrastructure in urban design, focusing on its ability to improve connectivity, accessibility, and environmental sustainability. By applying Space Syntax theory, the study examines how spatial arrangements affect human movement, urban activities, and the efficiency of infrastructure. (Hillier & Hanson(1984) for Space Syntax). Key findings underscore the importance of integrating green and smart infrastructure as vital strategies for creating sustainable cities that can adapt to future challenges. Nonetheless, obstacles such as funding limitations, socio-economic disparities, and access to technology hinder broader implementation. By utilizing advanced analytical tools, innovative materials, and inclusive planning approaches, urban designers can develop infrastructure systems that enhance livability, equity and resilience. This paper offers practicalinsights for policymakers and urban planners, guiding the development of cities that harmonize growth with sustainability and inclusivity.
