Urban Planning Philosophy:
Planning for each site were open to the surrounding areas through many roads and entrances leading to it, making it interactive communities affected by the behavior of the surrounding communities and integrated with it, as well as facilitate the presence of security control and services. It is a comprehensive planning giving people a sense of security and stability and order. All services are available in every site; such as: the schools - health units - shops - Mosques - governmental administrative buildings. Consequently; these communities do not constitute a burden on the surrounding areas’ services.
In terms of the spaces have been recruited to promote social ties among the inhibitors and improving their social level where possible exploitation of these spaces as green areas, gathering places and safe playgrounds for children.
All this was through total commitment to the requirements of the Authority of New Urban Communities, as follows:
- 50% housing from the total land surface
- 50% buildings from the housing land area
- 12: 8% services from the total land surface
- The width of the internal roads not less than 9.5 meters Asphalt
Design Philosophy
1 - the building consists of a simple typical units, its area ranging from 17.7m² to 23.4m² (room and bath) and 40.2m² (room and living room) and 42.5m² to 43.0m² (two rooms and living room)
2 – The typical unit gives flexibility in design where different models of housing units stemmed from the main building composition.
3 - All the units are provided with adequate lighting and natural ventilation.
4 – The building is consisting of a ground floor and two floors for small spaces and four floors for the largest space sites. Thus the number of the inhibitors will be appropriate with the site area.
5 - A study for the tracks to meet the requirements of security and safety in emergency cases (Emergency Exits).
