Sustainable urban spaces are those where all scales of development aim towards accomplishing a better-quality built environment. Therefore, sustainable urban spaces emphasize the association between green urban design and sustainability as an entry point to ensure quality of life.

An analytical method was also applied in the study through a questionnaire that enquired/questioned the impact of smart sustainable urban spaces and their relationship to achieve quality of life.
