Informal housing areas in Egypt are facing a lack of open spaces in the wake of increasing urban density. The utilization of available space is crucial for improving the environment and promoting social equality as we strive to create more resilient and healthy residential areas.  Streets in informal housing areas have a significant impact on public life, extending beyond just the flow of vehicles. Streets constitute a substantial part of the communal open space accessible to the community. Streetscape can greatly enhance streets in informal areas and have a significant impact on their development. Streetscape can encourage people to use outdoor spaces and increase their enjoyment, in addition to creating a welcoming, relaxed, and involved atmosphere for them. On the other hand, Egypt has the opportunity to utilize waste materials and create a recycling system due to the large quantity of waste available. Reusing waste materials helps to decrease pollution and improve the quality of the environment, preventing waste from ending up in landfills, as well as providing significant financial benefits. There is a mass of reclaimed materials being utilized in the creation of streetscape elements, such as wood, steel, plastic and rubber. This study explores the potential that would make the streetscape of informal housing areas more friendly to the environment by using recycled materials. The research finds a need to utilize waste recycling in streetscape which enhances the quality of life in informal housing areas in Egypt.
