The constructed environment is designed to satisfy the demands of the residents. Safety, esteem, and personality are all human demands that can be physiological or social. With developed infrastructure, easy communication access, and good roads, developers build their urban landscape visually appealing and efficient. They also desire a home that is affordable, comfortable, low-maintenance, soundproof, and thermally insulated. People prefer environmentally friendly environments, almost noiseless, and offer plenty of chances for pleasure, shopping, and getting to work swiftly.
The built environment is an artificial setting that provides a background for human activity, ranging from buildings and parks to towns and cities, and sometimes includes supporting infrastructure. Physical components and energy are incorporated into living, working, and playing forms in the built environment, a natural, geographical, and cultural product of human labor. It has been defined as the everyday human-made environment in which people live, work, and play.

The built environment, which includes where we live, work, and travel, is critical to human health. Today, people face an epidemic of chronic diseases, which can be avoided by practicing good habits daily.
