Abstract :
    Sustainable architecture and urban green space design, as two fundamental pillars of sustainable development, play a key role in improving environmental quality, public health, and increasing the resilience of cities against climate crises. This article, with an analytical and comparative approach, while explaining the theoretical foundations of sustainable architecture and urban green space, examines successful domestic (Mashhad Mellat Park and Isfahan District 3) and global (Singapore and Copenhagen) examples. The results show that the application of principles such as the use of native plants, smart management of water and energy resources, climate-responsive design, and public participation can reduce resource consumption by up to 50% and significantly increase citizen satisfaction (Nazarpour, 2012; Sajjadi and Jafari Tehrani, 2012).
