This study aims to elucidate biophilic landscape design strategies as resilient ecological infrastructure to address the water crisis in urban spaces, focusing on the stepped landscape of Chamran Park in Karaj. The research is applied in purpose and descriptive–analytical in methodology. Data were collected through documentary studies and field evaluations. An integrated SWOT framework including the Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) and External Factor Evaluation (EFE) matrices, together with the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), was employed for data analysis and strategy formulation. The results indicate that the IFE score of 2.63 and the EFE score of 2.29 place the study area in a “Competitive (ST)” strategic position. Based on the QSPM analysis, the strategy of “developing a gravity-fed water landscape with phytoremediation” achieved the highest Total Attractiveness Score (TAS = 6.28). It was followed by “smart flood management using multi-functional infrastructures” (TAS = 5.09), “evaporation-reducing biophilic microclimate creation” (TAS = 4.98), and “enhancing the sense of belonging through participatory landscape” (TAS = 4.01). The findings suggest that achieving a resilient biophilic landscape requires a transition from purely aesthetic approaches toward pragmatic design that integrates environmental-ecological, physical-spatial, perceptual-psychological, and managerial-policy dimensions. Such an approach can transform urban landscapes into gravity-based, self-sustaining ecological systems that reduce water consumption and enhance ecological resilience.
