In the current era, cities are at the forefront of deep transformations that are reshaping the face of the modern world. These cities, considered the pulse of economic, social, and cultural life, are facing increasing pressures resulting from rapid climate change and unbalanced population growth. To address these environmental and social challenges, cities urgently need to adopt new urban planning strategies that integrate sustainability and inclusiveness. This study aimed to explore the concept of “humanizing cities” as a means to promote sustainability and inclusiveness in urban planning. Using the Libyan city of Derna, which was devastated by Hurricane Daniel, as a case study, the research seeks to develop effective strategies that balance growth with environmental protection and social justice. Moreover, the study identifies the core principles of humanizing cities, analyzes the integration of sustainability and resilience strategies in urban planning, and provides practical models for implementation. It also evaluates the challenges and opportunities associated with applying these strategies. Through a multi-dimensional methodology, including theoretical analysis, case studies, and interviews with stakeholders, this research aims to present a comprehensive framework that can be used by urban planners, policymakers, and researchers. The study concluded that the concept of humanizing cities can be achieved by focusing on sustainability, inclusiveness, and resilience, contributing to building cities better prepared to face future challenges. Introduction: In today’ s world, cities are facing accelerating environmental and climatic changes, such as global warming, which leads to an increase in natural disasters like hurricanes and floods. These natural phenomena pose a direct threat to cities, potentially causing widespread damage to infrastructure, economic losses, and a decline in the quality of life. Traditional urban planning may not be sufficient to address these challenges, necessitating the development of new strategies that account for environmental factors. In addition, unbalanced population growth presents a significant challenge for cities, where infrastructure and public services often cannot keep pace with the growing population, leading to overcrowding, resource shortages, and a deterioration in essential services such as housing, transportation, and healthcare. Rapid population growth places tremendous pressure on urban planning, which must respond to this increase in a sustainable manner. This underscores the need to adopt the “humanization of cities” approach, which aims to improve the quality of life by balancing urban growth with sustainability. By focusing on people in the planning process, urban environments are created that promote social well-being and provide public spaces that foster community interaction and improve daily living standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":2403,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","research_category":[129],"class_list":["post-6441","research","type-research","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","research_category-129"],"acf":[],"lang":"ar","translations":{"ar":6441},"pll_sync_post":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lep.edu.ly\/jehivac\/wp\/v2\/research\/6441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lep.edu.ly\/jehivac\/wp\/v2\/research"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lep.edu.ly\/jehivac\/wp\/v2\/types\/research"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lep.edu.ly\/jehivac\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lep.edu.ly\/jehivac\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6441"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lep.edu.ly\/jehivac\/wp\/v2\/media\/2403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lep.edu.ly\/jehivac\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"research_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lep.edu.ly\/jehivac\/wp\/v2\/research_category?post=6441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
