Abstract
This paper adopts an inductive research approach and is divided into two sections. The first section is a theoretical inductive overview of international urban trends aimed at ensuring urban community sustainability and discusses residential neighborhood sustainability assessment tools used by some of the leading countries in this field. The second section examines new urban communities in Egypt according to their expected future development and urban development prospects. It proposes criteria that could be applied to the planning and design of road networks, housing units and site coordination to the sustainability of urban residential neighborhoods (the smallest design units in the study of residential urban community trends from the perspective of sustainability). The research conclusion take the sustainable residential neighborhood design principles and of the connection between sustainability assessment tools and elements of design reveals the existence of criteria that could be used to appraise residential neighborhood sustainability in Egypt. This elements contains “Principal Site Layout, Designing Roads and Paths, Coordination of the Site’s General Layout and Housing Units. finally A clear comprehension of the arrange objective, combined with a well-coordinated site facilitates getting clear directions to streets and buildings, promotes the conservation of native character and also the maintenance and maintenance of buildings associate degreed natural sites and creates an economical and comfy setting, all of that contribute to increased satisfaction among the neighborhood.
Highlights
The provision and diversification of sustainable housing are the key components of the smart technology development program designed to support different housing configurations and to achieve environmental, social and economic benefits
The research method here is built upon objectives and hypothesis in order to explain the dissections stated bellow with a reading in the previous results of related subjects, first Research Objective: To explore the tools, experiences and appraisal methods applied internationally in the design of sustainable residential communities in order to develop appropriate tools for assessing residential community sustainability in Egypt, in light of the Egyptian State’s present and future urban expansion
The above overview of sustainable residential neighborhood design principles and of the connection between sustainability assessment tools and elements of design reveals the existence of criteria that could be used to appraise residential neighborhood sustainability in Egypt, as follows: 9.1
Summary
The provision and diversification of sustainable housing are the key components of the smart technology development program designed to support different housing configurations and to achieve environmental, social and economic benefits. The program is based on the application of certain principles: mixed-use buildings; compact constructions; extensive housing opportunities; creation of pedestrian areas; creation of distinctive, attractive residential districts that are appreciated; conservation of open spaces, agricultural and Eco-friendly land; reinforcing existing communities; a range of transportation options; anticipating environmental choices and encouraging shared decision-making between. The sustainable residential community concept hinges on the coherent use of advanced smart systems and modalities that apply, within a unified general framework, sustainability criteria to the planning and design of residential community elements (layout of the community – road and pathway design – overall perception – housing units – community zoning and partitioning) within a unified general framework. A number of Neighborhood Sustainability Assessment (NSA) tools are available. Assessment tools are divided into two categories; spin-offs of building assessment tools that assess the sustainability of built environments composed of more than a single building and plan-embedded tools that assess a neighborhood’s sustainability based on its planning and sustainability initiatives [2]
