Austerity Urbanism is a term used to describe the design of cities and public spaces, with the focus of creating more efficient use of existing resources. The idea is to use existing infrastructure, materials, and resources to create urban spaces that are both efficient and attractive. This approach to design seeks to reduce the cost of construction and maintenance, while still providing a pleasant and inviting space for citizens to enjoy. The goal is to create a city that is both functional and aesthetically appealing, while keeping a budget-friendly approach in mind.

Austerity Urbanism is a term that has been used to describe a trend in urban planning and design in recent times, whereby resources would be used as efficiently and minimally as possible to provide cost-efficient and sustainable designs for the benefit of a city. This approach takes into account the limited fiscal resources available to cities and other urban spaces, and focuses on designing to create the maximum impact with the fewest resources. This approach is often seen as a reaction to the excessive and wasteful spending of resources on urban projects in the past. Factors such as energy efficiency, resource conservation, and sustainability are taken into account in the design of a project, as well as considering ways to involve the local community in the design process.
