Urbanism is the interdisciplinary study of how people interact with urban environments, encompassing urban planning, sociology, architecture, and geography. With roots in the late 19th century, urbanism has evolved to address the complexities of modern city living, from sustainable design to social equity. As of 2024, urbanism continues to influence city planning, with a focus on mixed-use development, green spaces, and community engagement. The field is shaped by key figures such as Ildefons Cerdà, Jane Jacobs, and Richard Florida, who have contributed to our understanding of urban dynamics. With over 55% of the global population living in urban areas, urbanism plays a critical role in shaping the future of cities, with a projected 68% of the global population expected to live in urban areas by 2050, according to the United Nations. The urbanism movement has also been influenced by the work of organizations such as the Urban Land Institute and the American Planning Association, which have promoted innovative approaches to urban design and planning.
