Abstract

The government has built many similar units all over Egypt, especially Cairo, without considering the differences between residents, studying the areas from which they came, or preparing the neighborhoods they moved to, and they did not follow Vision 2030, which stipulates achieving sustainability in modern urban societies. The research aims to prepare alternative housing areas to be environmentally sustainable and to provide guiding principles for the design of alternative residential neighborhoods. The researcher used the applied approach to the Asmarat neighborhood as one of the built-up neighborhoods to solve the problem of slums in Cairo and was evaluated by the joint indicators resulting from the comparison between (LEED-CASBEE - BREEAM CO -SB Tool (SPSS)) and LEED was relied upon to measure indicators because it is one of the most efficient tools in evaluating urban communities. During the evaluation, the devices were used (UNI-T MINI SOUND METERS UT353 DEVICE - UNI-T MINI LIGHT METERS UT383) to measure sound and light In addition to conducting a questionnaire for the residents of the Asmarat neighborhood to conduct a field survey and ask the residents to be a reference for confirming and evaluating the indicators. The study concluded that the Asmarat neighborhood achieved 23.5% of environmental sustainability. The study concluded with recommendations, reaching the goal and making guidelines for sustainable environmental design.
