Abstract: This study examines the complex relationship between social and urban sustainability in the context of Scandinavian urbanism. Scandinavian cities, known for their leadership in global sustainability efforts, serve as models for creating strong and sustainable urban communities. The research focuses on the fundamental values and inclusive urban planning tactics that shape Scandinavian urbanism's social sustainability, such as community involvement, social harmony, and participatory decision-making. Additionally, the paper explores Scandinavian approaches to merging urban development with the natural environment, including the incorporation of green spaces, efficient public transportation, sustainable architecture, and renewable energy sources. The findings highlight the role of technology and innovation in Scandinavian urban planning, showcasing the use of smart city initiatives and digital solutions to foster progressive, sustainable, and technologically advanced urban environments. The paper presents a convincing argument for the global significance of the Scandinavian model of urban sustainability, providing insights that can motivate urban planners, decision-makers, and scholars worldwide in their quest for sustainable and resilient urban progress.
