An Analysis Of The Housing Footprint In Urban Areas As An Indicator Of Sustainable Development )Katameya Heights Resort, New Cairo, Egypt(

Abstract

As part of the State's efforts to achieve development at the different planning levels and in all sectors, including housing, a series of challenges and obstacles have emerged, namely, increasing the constant human demand for nature, its overexpression, and its biological potential. There is a lack of recent physical development because it does not take into account the pivotal relationship between both activities and human requirements and the types of land cover, but the impact can be traced and studied through the use of them.

Within the framework of global developments that seek to achieve comprehensive sustainability, the research seeks to assess the ecological impact of Egyptian urban agglomerations on the housing sector to achieve sustainability.

The research focuses on tools and methodologies for assessing the environmental footprint in development sectors for ease of implementation in Egyptian urban communities. The research concludes with a set of recommendations and future proposals for appropriate urban development policies to reduce the gap between ecological footprint and biological capacity.
