This study highlights the crucial role of urban landscape design as a multidisciplinary and strategic approach for promoting healthy and sustainable behaviors in urban areas. This research, grounded in environmental psychology, integrates theories such as Attention Restoration Theory (ART), the Biophilia Hypothesis, and the Theory of Planned Behavior to examine how natural and socio-spatial design elements influence mental well-being, physical activity, and behavioral patterns. The findings suggest that urban landscapes designed thoughtfully can significantly enhance psychological restoration, social interaction, and a sense of environmental responsibility. Moreover, incorporating Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles contributes to increased public safety. Emphasizing participatory planning, historical preservation, and socially inclusive design practices, the study proposes an integrated framework for creating resilient, equitable, and health-promoting urban environments. This framework responds to the growing global demand for adaptive, research-driven urban strategies rooted in both ecological and psychological sustainability.
