However, the existing unsatisfactory ecological and hygienic conditions in cities are caused by a number of factors related to urbanization, such as high population density, large built-up areas, etc. These problems are primarily the result of architectural and urban planning decisions. This study analyzes the architectural and urban planning process in the design of recreational areas and identifies the challenges in this field.
