Architects and building designers are increasingly focused on sustainability, energy, and resource efficiency, which have become crucial to building quality. The research project Young Cities addresses these issues by developing urban design and architecture in the semi-arid regions of Iran, particularly on the outskirts of Tehran.

It outlines the importance of energy-efficient architecture, sustainable design principles, planning methods, innovative building materials, and provides an overview of the architectural pilot. This resource is essential for architects and designers focused on climate-adapted architecture and offers ideas for creating a LIFEcenter for vocational training and related a
