Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the green areas in the city of Mansoura and its adequacy range of quantity and quality and propose appropriate solutions. We have studied the green areas in the city as following: the total area of the public green areas, the rates of green areas in the city (the per capita green area in the city in 1949, 1977, 2007 and 2012- the international norms of green spaces), the distribution of green areas, the last green area changes in Mansoura city from 2007 to 2013(Lost green areas – Al Geash st developments - Shagret El-dorr garden) the types of green areas in the city, the maintenance (the available gardening tools in East and West district of Mansoura city in (2010) - The Green areas expenses during fiscal year (2009/2010) in Mansoura city) and street trees (a field survey for street trees in 22 of Mansoura city main and secondary streets). We have found that the status of green spaces in the city is very poor for a lot of things, the per capita green area is 0.4055 m2 in 2012 from 0.50 m2 in 2007 due to the increasing population and the decreasing of the total green areas, the distribution (the green areas of the city didn't make a network permeating the body of the city - no connection between its units - its small areas did not allow doing many activities…), maintenance (a shortage in tools necessary for maintenance – the total expenses on green areas during fiscal year (2009/2010) in Mansoura city was about 0.4172 EGP/m2),street trees (the rule of a one type of trees Ficus retusa - …).
