Urbanism as an academic field focuses on the study and planning of cities and urban environments. This interdisciplinary field encompasses various aspects of urban life, including urban design, urban development, city planning, transportation systems, sustainability, and social dynamics within cities. Urbanists analyse and propose solutions to the complex challenges faced by modern cities, striving to create livable, equitable, and sustainable urban spaces.
Urbanism plays a crucial role in addressing urbanisation challenges, such as population growth, affordable housing, transportation congestion, and environmental sustainability.
