In recent decades, the importance of historical villages has been widely acknowledged because of their aesthetic andecological contributions. Additionally, they have the potential to promote local socioeconomic growth through heritagevalorization. The urban village concept, essential for sustainable urban development, has evolved significantly from itstraditional village origins. It is based on historical sustainability practices, which include environmental, social, and economicdimensions. Over time, this concept has been reinterpreted into modern urban planning, primarily focusing ondevelopments. This research examines urban villages' historical evolution, modern transformation, and their important rolein current urban development. It analyzes the sustainability aspects of historic villages, their transition into modern urbanvillages, the distinct spatial and organizational shifts in contemporary contexts, and the essential design principles for today'surban community design. Furthermore, integrating advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and smartgrids in urban villages, exemplified by Kelvin Grove and Seattle projects in Australia and United States respectively, hasrevolutionized resource management and energy efficiency, further aligning the urban village concept with contemporarysustainability goals. This study emphasizes the growing relevance of the urban model village in promoting sustainable urbancommunities.
