Environmental education on a global scale encompasses multidimensional approaches aimed at fostering sustainable living habits and enhancing environmental awareness. International environmental education policies and practices seek to encourage individuals and communities to develop more sensitive and effective solutions to environmental issues. This study explores international approaches to environmental education and emphasizes their integration with urban transformation processes. Specifically, it discusses how social and physical regeneration shape environmental awareness within the framework of sustainable urbanism. As a case study from Turkey, the urban regeneration process in the Kuştepe neighborhood of Istanbul is examined. Kuştepe stands out as an area where the socio-economic and environmental dimensions of urban regeneration are deeply intertwined. This study investigates the impact of the regeneration process in Kuştepe on environmental education among local residents and explores how this process can be made more sustainable through public participation. Environmental education not only promotes individual behavioral changes but also plays a crucial role in fostering collective action and increasing social consciousness. This paper analyzes how international approaches to environmental education can be integrated with urban regeneration through the principles of environmental sustainability. Through the case of Kuştepe, the role of local community participation in this process and the impact of environmental education on making urban regeneration  more sustainable will be discussed. Ultimately, integrating environmental education with urban regeneration processes will contribute to the development of more sustainable and livable cities by enhancing active public participation in transformation projects.
