The paper "Sustainable Urban Design: A Review of Eco-Friendly Building Practices and Community Impact" by Femi Oluwatoyin Omole, Oladiran Kayode Olajiga, and Tosin Michael Olatunde provides a comprehensive review of eco-friendly building practices and their impact on communities within the context of sustainable urban design. The authors highlight the importance of integrating renewable energy sources, green building materials, and energy-efficient technologies to reduce the environmental footprint of urban developments and enhance the resilience of the built environment. The paper also explores how these practices can foster a sense of community, improve residents' quality of life, and promote social equity. Through case studies from successful sustainable urban design projects worldwide, the authors demonstrate the positive outcomes of implementing eco-friendly building practices, such as improved air and water quality, reduced energy consumption, and the creation of vibrant, walkable neighborhoods. The review serves as a valuable resource for urban planners, architects, and policymakers seeking to promote sustainable development and enhance the overall well-being of urban communities.The paper "Sustainable Urban Design: A Review of Eco-Friendly Building Practices and Community Impact" by Femi Oluwatoyin Omole, Oladiran Kayode Olajiga, and Tosin Michael Olatunde provides a comprehensive review of eco-friendly building practices and their impact on communities within the context of sustainable urban design.
