Abstract

Urban growth is steadily increasing in the developing world, as indicated by the United Nations World Population Report 2007. This expansion leads to the deterioration of the urban environment due to its powerlessness to accommodate population prerequisites. This weakening is increasingly obvious in the infrastructure elements, which need protection and good use to accommodate the necessities of the present and future. The concept of carrying capacity of the elements of the urban environment has the attention of many authorities worried about support urban sustainability globally, and a methodology for the assessment of urban carrying capacity (UCC) has been developed in cities, one part of which is assessing the condition of infrastructure in the urban environment. Therefore, the paper aims to study and feature this methodology, and spotlight on one of its main aspects, namely: (infrastructure and urban services). And study the plausibility of applying it to the new Egyptian cities as a way to promote sustainable urban development. This continue by studying and analyzing the current urban circumstance of one of the new urban communities' models in Egypt "tenth of Ramadan City", and afterward applying the (UCC) methodology to assess the condition of the city's infrastructure, and to identify causes of its shortcomings. Where the assessment shows that the city of “10th of Ramadan" lacks some supplies of basic facilities and services, as it does not accommodate the local population, causing the emergence of some urban problems in the city, and the weak ability to accommodate the target population.
