Planning new urban communities & Cities need an extensive understanding for the new environment nature and for the social and economic systems in terms of scientific and technological progress. Desert reclamation will not be useful without a sustainable urban design that is based on the principles of green architecture. Here will be two case studies of residential cities, one of them is national and the other is international, both share common construction time plan, style and the sustainable olutions. The case studies offer a comparison between the environmental and sustainable approaches of The Gate project (Nasr city – Cairo) and The Masdar City (Abu Dhabi) and results were as following … From Results, we found that some Environmental standards were applied on those two case studies and other standards were not applied enough.
Thus, we recommend planners and designers to apply the principles of green architecture to achieve an environmental balance in the new residential communities whether in or outside cities in order to achieve a sustainable urbanism.
