| Abstract: |
This study examines how urban form influences social sustainability, focusing on indicators such as spatial connectivity, land use diversity, density, and built compactness. Grounded in sustainable urbanism and spatial justice frameworks, it explores how these elements impact inclusivity, social cohesion, and quality of life. Findings reveal that greater connectivity and land use diversity enhance social interaction and accessibility, while excessive density can reduce equity. The study contributes to urban planning discourse by highlighting the need for integrated approaches that prioritize social dimensions alongside environmental and economic goals to foster socially resilient urban environments.
