description In a world facing displacement, violent conflicts, climate change, and urban sprawl, urban settings are plagued by inequality, poverty, injustice, and racial and class divisions. These divisions exacerbate violence, crime, and racism. As urban planners, it is crucial to recognize and develop solutions for present and emerging challenges. Evaluating diverse social activities with stakeholder participation is essential for fulfilling public interests. This study aims to identify best practices for socially sustainable urban environments by leveraging urban diversity and social participation. By envisioning inclusive, resilient, and socially sustainable cities, this research investigates participatory urban design through case studies of social-diversity-focused projects worldwide. The methodology includes selecting case studies based on criteria like geographical representation and levels of community engagement. The objective is to derive implementable recommendations for creating inclusive, resilient, and socially sustainable urban environments by analyzing the impact of social diversity and participation on urban resilience.
