Summary: | This research explores the synergy between modernity and tradition in the creation of sustainable construction solutions for outdoor public spaces, with the aim of optimising urban quality. The comprehensive methodology includes pre-assessment, categorisation of construction solutions and strategic optimisation. Key urban elements, from pavements to waste management, are examined, highlighting their unique strengths and challenges. The study highlights the importance of a balanced approach, integrating smart technologies with traditional or vernacular solutions. The results show the transformation of outdoor public spaces into vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable environments. Significant achievements include innovative urban design, ecologically balanced green spaces, and a comprehensive framework for holistic urban development. Beyond the physical structures, the research emphasises community nurturing, cultural preservation, and the creation of a sustainable legacy for future generations.
