Abstract
The research is concerned with studying neighborhoods design and development in Egypt. Neighborhoods face many urban challenges and threats which have environmental, social and economic impacts on any future development. The research aims to develop environmentally responsible model of neighborhoods. It could be achieved through sustainable planning process, developing the mechanism of urban design elements and the resource management of the physical environment in order to enhance quality of life and sustain natural resources. The research discusses and analyzes urban planning trends and rating systems for urban development to draw out design elements and a set of criteria for enhancing physical urban context of neighborhoods. An analytical study for neighborhood case studies is performed to conclude the best sustainable practices of urban design elements. The study also ensures the importance of computational simulation use in planning and design processes to achieve high-performance buildings and urban spaces. The research defines a methodology to develop Graduates villages in Burullus lake into sustainable neighborhoods to accommodate future urban development through optimizing urban parameters that would collectively promote high density urban growth, maximize land efficiency, develop mobility and energy systems and sustain natural resources with the assistance of simulation tools.
