Abstract

The continuous increase of building area is one of the most important phenomenons which occur in urban areas. This phenomenon may seem purely as physical urban problem, although it is affecting all life aspects like economy, society, environment …etc. Determining the city optimal size and management of cities has became the focus of attention of economists, sociologists and planners since the emergence of cities on the sixteenth century. In that period various standards were initiated to determine the city optimal size, with no specific values for its size compatible with the changes and developments. This caused continuous changes of the limits of the city optimal efficiency from time to time. This paper explores this phenomenon (the increasing of building areas), and aims to determine the factors affecting limits of the city optimal efficiency, which is named "as City Optimal Size" that complies with different environmental, economical, technological consideration.... etc., taking into account the various changes over time.
