In recent years, for people and organizations worldwide, particularly in urban centers, there has been an increase in concern for integrating environmental policies in search of sustainable and resilient cities. Sustainable and resilient cities prioritize, within their development strategies, the integration of social, economic, and environmental dimensions in the decisions made during the elaboration, implementation, and development of urban projects seeking viability. They favor the present and future quality of life for current and future generations. With the growth of well-developed and interconnected infrastructure, the completion of the development of sustainable and resilient cities is a key issue for urban development. The ancient concepts of urban growth with the dominance of green urbanism and the recent concept of blue urbanism inevitably shape a city in a developed vision. Green and blue urbanism is a holistic, integrated vision of urban planning that incorporates sustainable development principles, considering the structure of the city and its inhabitants. This central objective of green and blue urbanism includes economic, social, urban, and future development.
