In view of today’s high energy consumption, carbon emission and climate change, it is important to promote and build healthier cities with the aim of maintaining environmental balance. Hence, in this article, the authors present a project-based learning model to foster environmentally responsible behaviour through sustainable design. The participants in this study were students who programmed within urban and residential architecture courses at the STIKMA International College of Technology, East Java Province, Indonesia. In this study, students were observing activities in the Malang city square, then conducting a needs analysis and continuing with redesign. The results showed that there were three types of environmentally unfriendly behaviour found; namely: damaging vegetation, damaging public facilities and damaging environmental quality. The results of the study show that the project-based learning model has a positive influence on students’ knowledge and environmental care attitudes so that they are able to produce sustainable architectural designs. © WIETE 2023.
