This book presents six working manuscripts on urban design

disciplines. It holds the history of urban design in Western and

American literature. It extends to the content analysis of several

issues that are tangible with the Egyptian context. The research

approaches are discussed to find out contemporary outcomes

and theoretical contributions to the discussed topics. Implicitly, the

objective is to give a line, theoretical and practical, to reload the

Egyptian metropolitan cities. The urban reloading may benefit both

the people and the place.
