The idea of sustainability has emerged as a solution to many problems
faced by cities and has become a mandatory practice in various fields and
sectors, especially in the housing sector, given its significant economic and
social importance. Therefore, it is essential to understand the concept of
sustainability and how to achieve it in the planning of residential complexes.
This research examines the problem of the varying levels of environmental
sustainability in residential complexes, which has negatively affected the
provision of suitable living conditions in many communities. It hypothesizes
that indicators play a role in creating residential projects that are suitable from
all social, economic, and environmental aspects.
The aim of this study is to assess the level of urban sustainability in
two residential complexes by measuring residents' satisfaction through selfdetermined indicators. The study relied on a descriptive approach and
statistical methods, utilizing the Mann-Whitney U test to identify significant
differences between the two complexes.
The study found that most indicators showed significant differences.
Among the notable findings were that most urban criteria related to the
residential environments in the study area complied with national standards,
except for the criteria related to the adequacy of educational, healthcare, and
commercial services concerning the population size. Residents were
dissatisfied with social indicators related to privacy, the scarcity of green and
open spaces, play areas for children, and the lack of public transportation
within the residential complex
