Category: Built environment

Built environment refers to the human-made physical surroundings, including buildings, infrastructure, transportation networks, and public spaces, that are designed and constructed for human use. It encompasses both the natural and constructed features of the landscape and includes urban, suburban, and rural areas. The built environment has a significant impact on human health, social interaction, and quality of life. It can influence physical activity, access to healthy food options, and exposure to environmental hazards such as air pollution and noise. The design and planning of the built environment can be shaped by various factors, including cultural and societal values, economic considerations, and environmental concerns, and are critical in creating sustainable and livable communities.
