Statistics and researches ensure that most of the New Cities in Egypt haven't achieved the target they have been established for. They haven't succeeded to attract the population increase in the mother cities. A strange contradiction has appeared between the housing and peopling case in a big number of these new cities where you can see uninhabited building. This case clearly indicates that there is a drawback (defect) that hinders these cities fulfilling the aimed goals.Consequently, this research aims to shed light on the criteria of improving and developing the urban housing areas in the new cities, applying the study case on New Minia as a model of the New Egyptian Cities, trying to point out how far it has succeeded or failed to realize these criteria and achieve the targeted development.This study has hypothesized that the lack to apply a comprehensive collection of criteria of improvement and development for housing areas in the New Egyptian cities is the main factor that forbids these cities from reaching the rate of development aimed at.To prove its hypotheses, the research has applied the following procedure. First; a theoretical study for the aims and criteria of the urban improvement and development planned (set) to develop The New Cities. Second; studying analyzing the applied study in the housing areas in the New urban communities (in New Minia. The research [study] has resulted in a collection of results and recommendations that necessitates setting up a number of criteria for the needed development so as to include in the overall planning for the new cities in order to ensure the comprehensive development and having a secial vision according to the circumstances of each new city.
Smart technology is a vital key to make cities more efficient in terms of resources usage, which is indispensable to support sustainability and resilience in cities. Nevertheless, limited studies suit the African situation regarding this matter. Also, there are no strategies adopted to define sectors' priorities. This strategy is vital to enable the application of smart technologies and policies of new cities in Upper Egypt. Accordingly, this paper presents a Fuzzy Assessment Model for Sectors Priorities (FAMSP) to distinguish and prioritize sectors in terms of smartness. A focus-group survey was then done to determine the Importance of the sectors (IS) and the low cost of sectors (LS). Results obtained from the survey were applied in the fuzzy model. Fuzzy sectors priorities, FSP is the output of applying the IS and the LS in the model. Finally, this study aims to test the (FSP) through Spearman's and Kendall's tests. Obtained results proved that the proposed model can be used successfully in determining and ordering sectors priorities to be transformed into smart sectors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
