Abstract
Abstract : Creating sustainable environments has become an urgent goal for most communities all over the world. ‎This is because creating a sustainable environment would lead to improving a community's life socially, ‎environmentally, and economically. To do so, urban sustainability indicators need to be incorporated into ‎the urban design process, beginning with the architecture teaching syllabus. This study aims to find out ‎how students’ projects in the urban design course could consider sustainability indicators when ‎developing built environments including the campuses and how architecture students’ projects can consider the role of physical character in achieving sustainability when developing campuses. Therefore, students' projects designated for ‎developing the main campus of the University of Mosul were the case study of this research. Explorative graphical ‎analysis was adopted as the study method. Findings highlighted key characteristics of sustainable ‎urban design that are incorporated into these projects and the way to do so. ‎
