Due to "Fast" does not always mean progress and more competitiveness, “Cittaslow " has appeared as sustainable model based on an alternative philosophy of globalization and fast life. It is a global organization that strives to achieve the goal of sustainable urban development through the avoidance of global culture in planning, urban design and infrastructure. Their policies promote local diversity and economic and cultural strengths, build on historic resources and traditions, and encourage a slow, relaxed pace of life. The research was based on the construction of a comprehensive theoretical framework through the review and study of literature on the subject of the concept of "Globalization" and its effects on the urban system and the rate of urbanization and urban problems which are increasing significantly according to the rapid changes that have developed in many cities, Within the scope of this study, ‘Cittaslow' movement is addressed as a different approach to building sustainable cities to face the effects of the ideas of globalization and fast life on the urban system , by ensuring the notion of ‘Cittaslow' is clearly understood, urban parameters suggested by "Cittaslow" within the framework of achiving sustainability as a solution to modern-day urban problems. Then the research analyze one of slow cities experiment. In an attempt to devise whether the application of "Cittaslow" policies would be a valuable approach for cities planners to adopt, to aid in addressing issues of small towns in Egypt and to assist them in supporting sustainable urban development includes the overall results of the search and recommendations. The study aims to take advantage of “Cittaslow" policies and principles to turn the theoretical underpinnings of sustainable development and Local Agenda 21 into a more powerful and practical action plan. In an attempt to devise processes within which to activate “Cittaslow" policies and principles to implement local urban sustainable development.
