| Sumario: | Nowadays, the sustainable built environment planning in most cities has come to a turning point as the growth in traffic and population has become a serious concern and put tremendous pressure on both the environment and people in these cities. It is therefore important to find new ways or lifestyles--such as compact city, transit-oriented development (TOD) formulations--that are more flexible, inclusive, and sustainable. Furthermore, for the sustainable built environment and urban growth management, not only should the growth management principles--which include smart growth, sustainable growth, and inclusive growth--be taken into account but innovative/smart planning strategies--such as mixed use design, green transport, and new urbanism--are also utilized in planning sustainable built environments in order to prevent the urban sprawl development that has occurred.
