Abstract

Learning about sustainability Is not just a simple matter of memorizing facts. Sustainability education necessitates the employment of features that inspire discussion and develop decision-making skills. Video games have a huge potential to be fully functional learning environments for learning about sustainability. City of Life is an interactive mobile game application that teaches students at various levels of study about some sustainability aspects, which encompass the issues and tasks for achieving the sustainable development goals identified by the United Nation (UN). Its main theme is city building, where the player will be able to build their very own unique sustainable city using eye-catching, realistic, UAE-culture relevant buildings; further, it employs educational parts using attractive stylish mechanics such as Augmented Reality, with some mini-games to entertain and verify the player's educational knowledge.
