There is a global interconnection that has been prospering since the dawn of mankind. The process of connecting the world started thousands of years ago. The ancient world saw the establishment of two major globalizing forces - Christianity and Islam. These forces spread throughout the world and with them spread power, culture, values and principles. These were simultaneously adopted, abstracted and implemented in architecture, planning, art and design. Rapid modernization and globalization in today’s world has transformed cultures, concepts and planning ideologies which has affected the spatial development and the pattern of urban spaces. The Muslim world cannot stand idle amidst the forces of global change and technology. There is a need to study and examine the urban and architectural fabric in the Islamic world, effects of globalization and analyze how excessive consumption, in a broader sense, has changed our spaces into meaningless realities. The aim of the paper is to review, analyze, and focus on the use of urban open spaces in the cities planned according to Islamic principles and understand the present day scenario of the same by descriptive research methodology (surveys and case studies). This paper will include the history of Islam & Islamic values with their relevance and justification in landscape and architecture. The case studies taken up for research will be Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi), Delhi, India and Isfahan, Iran to understand the derivations of Islamic principles in architecture and landscape. The conclusions will include strategies and concepts related to the enhancement of built environment quality which is more correspondent to Islamic culture, harmonized built environment and Islamic lifestyle & successful urban open spaces for quality living.
