Towards forming a socio-ecological action model for urban open spaces’ design in New Cairo, Egypt

Abstract Under the supervision of UN-Habitat, the Egyptian General Organization of Physical Planning started its first phase of “Promoting Better Quality and More Manageable Public Spaces Project, 2021” that targets enhancement and development of open spaces quality in New Cairo, Egypt. This project...
