Abstract

The concept of biophilic smart cities centers on blending advanced technologies with biophilic design to improve urban living. In this model, urban green spaces play a key role, providing aesthetic value while simultaneously supporting physical, mental, and social well-being. This study employs a qualitative approach based on literature review, analysis of international case studies, and evaluation of planning documents related to urban development in Tunisia. The research specifically explores how the principles of biophilic smart cities can be adapted to the Tunisian context, with a focus on emerging projects such as Tunisia Garden City. By comparing global strategies with local urban dynamics, this article proposes context sensitive recommendations to support healthier, more resilient, and sustainable urban environments in Tunisia.
