摘要：

This study examines the integration of sustainability and climate change into Saudi Arabian urban planning education, a crucial step as cities confront rapid urbanization's environmental, social, and economic impacts. Utilizing content analysis and purposive sampling, the research evaluates current curricula to identify challenges and opportunities. Findings indicate that while environmental sustainability is prioritized, economic and social aspects are less emphasized. Furthermore, local issues dominate, with a limited focus on global perspectives, and adaptation strategies are favored over mitigation. The study offers recommendations to strengthen sustainability's role within Saudi urban planning education, promoting a more comprehensive approach to climate challenges.
