 regenerate Egyptian Hinterlands Graduates villages at El-Burullus Lake into sustainable neighborhoods. The study defines urban potentials for the through the analysis of current physical urban context and population densities and their needs. It focuses on the optimization of physical urban form for residential buildings. The proposed methodology introduces and analyzes alternative design models for the residential building forms with respect to residents' needs, approaching high density population as a strategy to develop social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainability. The effect of solar radiation on design alternatives could be measured using simulation tools to develop design concepts.
The conclusion of this study indicates that the morphology of a sustainable neighborhood and the solar design of its residential buildings should serve as a foundation of sustainable environment and offer suitable solutions for urban problems in similar cases.
