This research studies the global warming problem-resources, effects and solutions. The resources are resembled in the green house gas emissions and the share of different regions in them. The effects on the world in general are resembled in threats of land losses for low level areas beside or near water, climatic emigration, diseases spread in different areas etc., For the Arab region the threat of coastal areas under sea water accompanied with the necessity of rehabilitation of big numbers of people who will lose their homes, works, lands..etc especially in Nile delta region. The research shows some strategies and projects to reduce the global warming problem and its effects. One strategy is to capture of green house gas emissions, one of the projects is the biggest solar project in the world in the great Sahara. Other projects are renewable energy projects in the Arab world and projects to reduce the global warming effects especially on Egypt. The research mentions some international agreements around this subject and suggests some marks on the way of solution.

Abstract-This paper discusses the primary master plan of the gardens' city, which is planned to depend on renewable energy. Gardens' city lies in the Egyptian's western desert in newly discovered to be developed areas, namely in the new Farafra oases. The general master plan of the city is designed for 117,000 inhabitants, with a final target of settling of 1 Million inhabitants in the oasis. The city has agricultural and industrial based economy, depend on renewable energy (solar and wind energy), and has the first Egyptian college of renewable energy.

There are newly discovered areas in the Egyptian western desert, which were believed to be part of the Great Sand Sea. These areas are able to be developed. Water is available near ground surface in the area; the new Farafra Oasis lies in these areas. This paper discusses a general master plan of the Gardens' City, as a future city in new Farafra Oasis. The aim of the paper is to achieve sustainability in the city during the planning stage.The city is planned for 117,000 inhabitants, with a final target of settling 1 million inhabitants in the oasis. Palm, olive and wheat are economical bases in the oasis and limestone and shale/clay soil form local building materials there. The White Desert forms a beautiful touristic site near the oasis. The industrial economy is based mainly on agriculture in addition to other local resources.The city plan includes a field to generate renewable energy from the sun and wind, which are available on the site. Algae will be planted there to produce biofuel. The city will be sustainable from different sides, especially energy.
