​
First of all, the built environment is important because it would guarantee residence' health. A well-built environment area will provide health facilities, health care center, clean water supply, and have great city planning. Hospitals, clinics, and also health care centers will be provided for the community. Hygiene problems would be avoided if the requirements on top were archived. So the residences would be even healthier if the built environment were archived.
​
Then, the built environment would always decrease the rate of crime. This is because there must be public services, such as police stations, security checks at a place with a good built environment. The crime rate will always increase due to a lack of law convering a certain area. Criminal activities would always happen and nobody could stop them. A properly built environment can always prevent crime from happening and decrease the rate of criminal activities.
Last but not least, the economy would be stable and in a country or a well-built environment area. This is because the place is safe and comfortable for business.
