description This paper explores the challenges cities face when dealing with urban sprawl and the strategies that can be implemented to mitigate its impact. The importance of preserving cultural spaces and making the most of available land potential is emphasized. The paper discusses various strategies, such as redeveloping industrial areas and former military sites, retrofitting existing structures for mixed-use developments, and promoting sustainable urban growth. The need using the already existing urban planning expertise and awareness among decision-makers is highlighted. The key focus areas of the paper include urbanization, urban sprawl, brownfield redevelopment, grey energy, and sustainability. Overall, by implementing these strategies, cities can protect the environment, preserve open spaces, and achieve sustainable urban development.
