Abstract
Sustainable design is increasingly at the heart of our collective efforts to create a greener, more livable world. By prioritizing practices that reduce environmental harm while also supporting economic vitality and social equity, sustainable design offers a holistic approach to addressing the complex challenges we face today. This paper delves into the foundational principles and practical applications of sustainable design, focusing on strategies like life cycle assessment, the use of eco-friendly materials, and improving energy efficiency. Through real-world examples from various industries, the paper illustrates how embedding sustainability into the design process not only mitigates environmental issues but also sparks innovation and strengthens competitive advantage. The paper concludes by offering practical recommendations for designers, policymakers, and industry leaders, guiding them towards creating a built environment that is not only sustainable but also resilient and equitable for future generations.
