Also, sea level rise and extreme events are impacting on coastal areas. In addition to climate change has a range of consequences on health, economic activities and social systems. Responses for climate change are followed mechanisms of mitigation or adaptation, or together. Mitigation has focused on standards, laws, building codes, renewable energy, managing water use, and green areas. There are many adaptation options in urban planning such as urban density adaptation, land use change, institutional adaptation, sustainable development, and landscape of open spaces. Some countries are accelerating the adaptation wheel within their cities. But Egyptian policies should be developed to avoid the future risk on settlements. Hence community's Adaptation is a backbone to improve air quality, decrease demand for energy, and create a space for recreation and ecosystems, and other benefits, which is a huge opportunity to raise quality standards of life in our communities.
