Bridging Theoretical Frameworks and Practical Applications

EasyChair Preprint 14407

Abstract

Sustainable urban planning is increasingly recognized as a vital approach to addressing the complex challenges of modern cities, including environmental degradation, social inequality, and economic inefficiency. While quantitative metrics and models play a significant role in this field, qualitative insights offer essential depth and nuance that can bridge theoretical frameworks with practical applications. This paper explores the integration of qualitative insights in sustainable urban planning, emphasizing their role in enhancing theoretical understanding and informing practical strategies. By examining case studies and expert interviews, we highlight how qualitative data—such as community feedback, cultural contexts, and stakeholder perspectives—can complement quantitative analyses and improve decision-making processes
