Abstract

Informal housing areas are known for their high building density, which is a prevalent phenomenon in urban societies in the developing world, as urban growth is irregular. So, these areas grow at high rates within cities, where their environment lacks the most important components, which are the green spaces that represent the natural lung of the city in addition to the functional and social value represented in popular culture. This research drives at contributing at solving the problem of the rareness of green spaces in the informal housing areas by adopting an approach that depends on green planes as a practical solution to compensate for the loss in green areas and create new job opportunities that generate profit for the people of those areas with low income; including as well, the electric power generation system through solar panels which will have an economic and environmental impact and ensure sustainability. The Results of the study found the positive impact of green roofs in rationalizing electricity consumption, reducing building heat, and beautifying the environment in general for the building.
