Abstract
This thesis examines a community developed in the early 20th century as a sustainable development paradigm. After the latest Heliopolis’ urban development plan competition, this approach’s results show a considerable DROP in the site’s initial values, ecological effect and social setbacks. Some unwelcoming consequences become critical and strive to change the urban green identity of Heliopolis. However, today saw the implementation of particular development plans in some cities in the global that may not align with this community’s long-term goals and sometimes contradict the national strategic vision of urban development. An interactive methods approach has been adopted in this thesis in which Two Delphi Survey rounds, on-ground field observation, tracing of the satellite images and Envi-Met microclimate simulation tools were applied to Heliopolis as a case of investigation. Each of the used methods was used to explore certain social, urban and environmental factors. The integrative and cumulative sequence of this approach was effective to complete the chain of findings. It becomes clear that the development plan has achieved its main goals regardless of its disadvantages. The outdoor thermal comfort, public activities, social interactions and spatial quality have declined. Besides, surface and mean temperatures, wind speed and carbon dioxide levels are predicted to increase because of this significant loss of the green footprint in Heliopolis’ Context. Future studies can look at how local streets become urban boundaries and context segregation because of development plans that cannot regenerate urban areas. Also, greater efforts are needed to ensure the predicted environmental evidence on the area and more advanced analysis is needed to address proactive mitigation and adaptation actions plan to curb any unfamiliar consequences in the future.
