These could include adaptive reuse of underutilized spaces or integrating sustainable technologies for energy efficiency and climate resilience. Papers may also explore participatory design processes that empower communities to co-create inclusive, equitable public spaces. Research could also examine various case studies, blending ecological sustainability with social infrastructure, addressing challenges like housing shortages, privatization, and urbanization.
