Abstract

Abstract. Natural hazard and over than 2300 of human activities impacted on Alexandria, causing a deep topographic and urban transformation. In integration with cosmopolitanism, the cultural heritage diversity of Alexandria has been generated that is still surviving although hectic development of its contemporary potentiality, basically as the main harbour of Egypt, tourism, commercial and industrial activities.Team of DMUCH- Ritsumeikan University has constructed geospatial database of Alexandria using historic map and satellite imagery in integration with interdisciplinary basically, remote sensing and geophysics, aiming to figure out the historical context of the land use and urban evolution of the city, so far. Meanwhile, geodesign approach was adopted to innovate a change model. So, the adopted synthetic approach supports stakeholders and decision makers to outline action plans to achieve SDGs for Downtown Alexandria within NSDS, Egypt vision 2030.

Highlights

  • Egyptian government adopted National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS) to achieve SDGs aligned to the world plan

  • From integrative perspective DMUCH team extended the collaboration to relevant Egyptian institutions, basically NARSS, NRIAG, MoTA, and E-JUST, so the database combined with geophysical contribution and other updated data

  • Natural and human hazard, add to cosmopolitanism have generated the authenticity of Alexandria since foundation in 332 BCE

Summary

Introduction

Egyptian government adopted National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS) to achieve SDGs aligned to the world plan. Developable existed infrastructure that accelerates achieving SDGs. problematic of authenticity and modernization conflict would hinder implementation of ambitious plans of sustainability. Cohesive collaboration with Geodesign Hub has formulated the acquired data to create change model of NSDS, Egypt vision 2030, as well as building capacity of young responsible and researchers. This contribution reflects efforts made to adopt a synthetic approach that formularized sustainability to preserve the authenticity of Downtown Alexandria utilizing its capabilities based on an interactive database
