Abstract
Considered green or sustainable architecture a modern trends in architectural thought and interested in the relationship between buildings and the environment, where you must check the needs of the present without losing sight of the right of future generations to meet their needs - as it also appears to reduce the impact of buildings on the environment by reducing the economic costs of construction and operation , so they are highly efficient system compatible with the surrounding less collateral damage the environment it is an invitation to deal with the environment better. They become expansion to create a friendly environment or application of the standards of cities a prerequisite aims to provide energy consumption through optimal use of natural sources of energy (solar - energy winds) and invent new methods for new and renewable energy, in addition to the rationalization of water consumption and recycling of solid waste and attention to the realization of agriculture and forestation, which reduces carbon emissions and improves the quality of the environment in general and the internal environment and the air inside buildings, in particular, and thus improve the health of society and the increasing age the default of the buildings and the preservation of the ecosystem - which ultimately leads to higher productivity and boost the economy in various sectors. In the case of sustainable cities, the integration of green design and smart technology methods not only helps to reduce energy consumption and reduce the environmental impact, but also reduces the construction costs and maintenance costs and creates a comfortable working environment and improve the health of users and reduces the legal liability that may arise because of the buildings diseases and raise property value buildings and lease revenues.The relationship between environmental and economic development of cities is the relationship of a close balance between development and environmental protection and sustainability. We will show Here are the concepts of sustainability and green architecture in the urban sector and new environmental standards for the building with some global models of green building with green and sustainable architecture related to urban heritage and also a green business practices with an explanation of the most important factors and their priority in the environmental property and sustainable economic development of the Arab world.
Sustainability is comprehensive therefore a complex subject. It is of vital importance to all because it deals with the survival of human species and almost every living creature on the planet. Sustainable and eco-friendly architecture is one of the main aims that humans for creating a better life have made as the ultimate model for all their activities. For this reason, moving towards a greener architecture is well-thought-out the main goal of the present architecture of our time. At the rate the development needs of this world is using the scarce and limited resources found on the earth,
