Historical Foundations to Modern Innovations of Urban Village
In recent decades, the importance of historical villages has been widely acknowledged because of their aesthetic and ecological contributions. Additionally, they have the potential to promote local socioeconomic growth through heritage valorization. The urban village concept, essential for sustainable urban development, has evolved significantly from its traditional village origins. It is based on historical sustainability practices, which include environmental, social, and economic dimensions. Over time, this concept has been reinterpreted into modern urban planning, primarily focusing on developments. This research examines urban villages' historical evolution, modern transformation, and their important role in current urban development. It analyzes the sustainability aspects of historic villages, their transition into modern urban villages, the distinct spatial and organizational shifts in contemporary contexts, and the essential design principles for today's urban community design. Furthermore, integrating advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart grids in urban villages, exemplified by Kelvin Grove and Seattle projects in Australia and United States respectively, has revolutionized resource management and energy efficiency, further aligning the urban village concept with contemporary sustainability goals. This study emphasizes the growing relevance of the urban model village in promoting sustainable urban communities.
