Key Points

To establish and apply a new urban transformation approach based on the philosophical concept of 'crossing' to guide traditional cities toward sustainability.
Formulated a conceptual framework categorizing transformation into four crossing levels: normal, ascending, leap, and descending, derived from philosophical concepts of being, process, becoming, and integration.
Evaluated ten urban morphology and sustainability indicators in the traditional city of Karbala, Iraq.
Four indicators achieved leap crossing: coverage ratio, compactness, proximity, and the effectiveness of pedestrian and bicycle movement, while zero indicators exhibited descending crossing.
Three indicators attained ascending crossing (mixed land use, block length, and connectivity), and three indicators attained normal crossing (diversity of building heights, population density, and housing density).
