 * Urban Planning: **

Urban planning is a mixture of science and art. The simplest definition of urban planning is that it is the organization of all elements of a town or other urban environment.

Example: I’m studying Urban Planning in the Simon Bolivar University Master Degree: **
 * 

It is an academic degree granted to individuals who have undergone study demonstrating a mastery or high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice.  Example: The two most common types of master's degrees are the Master of Arts and Master of Science.  Develop: **
 * 

Develop is to make something new, such as a product or a mental or artistic creation.

Example: Architects are making developing buildings around the world. Metaverse: **
 * 

The Metaverse is a fictional virtual world, where humans, as avatars, interact with each other and software agents, in a three dimensional space that uses the metaphor of the real world.

Example: The users of the Metaverse experience it from a first person perspective . Computer-aided design ** (**CAD **):
 * 

It is the use of computer technology for the design of objects, real or virtual. CAD often involves more than just shapes.

CAD may be used to design curves and figures in two-dimensional ("2D") space; or curves, surfaces, or solids in three-dimensional ("3D") objects. CAD is an important industrial art extensively used in many applications, including automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, industrial and architectural design, and many more.

Example: CAD is used by designers of all king of things for the construction of cars, buildings, aeroplanes and more. Building Information Modeling (BIM): **
 * 

It is the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle. Typically it uses three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase productivity in building design and construction.

Building information modeling covers geometry, spatial relationships, light analysis, geographic information, quantities and properties of building components. BIM can be used to demonstrate the entire building life cycle including the processes of construction and facility operation.

Example: With BIM architects show us manufacturers details of the building in construction. Environment **:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">

The environment <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof.

Example: our environments is been destroyed for our own hands. Courtroom: ** <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> A courtroom is the actual enclosed space in which a judge regularly holds court.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">

Example: Criminal courtrooms are especially busy with a constant flow of arraignments and plea bargaining colloquies. Biopolis: ** <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> Biopolis <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> is an international research and development centre located in Singapore for biomedical sciences. This campus is dedicated to providing space for biomedical research and development activities and promoting peer review and collaboration among the private and public scientific community. <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> Example: For the general public, Biopolis has eight shops, four restaurants, four cafes , a 300-seater food court , a fast food restaurant, a pub and a childcare centre. Skyscrapers: ** <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> A skyscraper is a tall, continuously habitable building.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">
 * <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">

Example: A building of 80 meters may be considered a skyscraper **<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> Sustainability : ** <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> It is in a broad sense, is the capacity to endure. In ecology, the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. For humans it is the potential for long-term maintenance of wellbeing, which in turn depends on the wellbeing of the natural world and the responsible use of natural resources. <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> Example: <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Sustainability has become a wide-ranging term that can be applied to almost every facet of life on Earth. Heat Pumps: ** <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> It can be thought of as reversible air conditioners like an air conditioner can take heat from a relatively cool space and dump it into a hot place, can too absorb heat from the cool outside air and dump it into a warm house. Example: Many houses are using heat pumps because is better than a air conditioner and have a low cost for them and for the environment. Recycling: ** It involves processing used materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution and water pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">

Example: Recycling of a material would produce a fresh supply of the same material, for example used office paper to more office paper Embodied energy: ** It is defined as the available energy that was used in the work of making a product. Embodied energy is an accounting methodology which aims to find the sum total of the energy necessary for an entire product lifecycle.

Example: The UK “ Code for Sustainable Homes ” and USA “ Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ” are standards in which the embodied energy of a product or material is rated. Eco-Neighborhood: ** Those are neighborhoods where the environment is the priority, those seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by the moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space.

Example: All over the world are many Eco-Neighborhoods, for example: “The Bed Zed” in London.
