STAGE 01 DATA COLLECTION 1. CITIES UNDER COVID-19 CONDITIONS During the Covid-19 lockdown, many environmental, economic and social changes occurred compared to the pre-COVID-19 period.

1. SOCIAL

CHANGES

Figure 1. The positive impact of the Corona epidemic on the globe is evident in the purity of air from carbon dioxide emissions

3. ECONOMIC CHANGES

The Corona has greatly affected the social lifestyle, as everyone committed to staying at home and practicing all activities at home.

The case for closure has had a major economic impact on various projects and countries alike, and the consequences are complex.

The closure and social distancing have affected people psychologically, as some became depressed, and domestic violence crimes increased.

1. URBAN DESGIN

2. ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES Many urban areas have seen significant reductions in air pollution, noise pollution, traffic congestion, and crime, while also seeing increases in other activities such as walking and cycling (especially for people who do not usually do these activities).

The quarantine measures imposed on most of the planet's population in order to curb the spread of the Coronavirus have contributed to a decrease in the level of air pollution in urban areas, as field research has detected an improvement in the air of major capitals by more than 12%. The level of nitrogen and factory gases has also decreased, and the ozone layer has recovered after carbon emissions fell to their lowest level in 30 years.

When epidemics especially respiratory ones emerge, precautionary measures emphasize the necessity of isolation, and closure of public spaces. Also, it turns the image of cities and public spaces into empty environments.

•STREET AND TRANSPORTAION The emergence of the Corona pandemic, the result of the closure of cities at the level of the world’s level, especially the large cities such as New York and the city of Ohan, which was the source of the spread of the virus. Covid19. Start the arrest of life and disrupt the means of transport and transportation due to fear of the enemy moving. Do this disruption because people abandon the streets and from them. Many losses occurred to transport companies such as Uber, Kareem, etc. The streets became owned by ambulances and security cars to protect the city from this epidemic.

2. POST PANDEMIC CITES 1. URBAN DESGIN The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted the value of public parks and demonstrated a need for increased investment to prepare for the future.

Urban communities are striving to keep countries healthy, sustainable, inclusive and economically active during times that are hard for everyone.

1. Landscape architecture 

As a way for a more comfortable, healthy, sustainable and resilience future.

2. Open space and Parks Creation of new, flexible urban typologies Fueled by the increasing momentum of adaptive reuse and repositioning post pandemic, single-use environments such as restaurant, offices, shops, gym and children playground are being reconfigured into walkable, mixed-use communities.

•That's Lead to Ask Some Questions: 1.

Will we observe fewer people in public?

Will we change what we do in public?

What is the future of large public gatherings?

What will be the impacts on public transit?

Will we observe changes in the use and regulation of interior public spaces?

6. Will streets be re-designed?

Will the pandemic accelerate the mainstreaming of health criteria into the design of public spaces?

Will the climate continue to recover?

4. RESTAURANTS AND CAFES: The circles are among a number of measures that is using to encourage people to safely use the square in front of cafes during the pandemic.

Figure 3. Dining in plastic bubbles have become common in front of restaurants in New York City to make social distancing.

3. Park lets (sitting area) 1.After covid-19 to make wide open spaces by repurpose part of the street next to the sidewalk into a public space for people. With free public Wi-Fi and charging stations. These reflect the City’s commitment to encouraging walking, bicycling, and strengthening our communities.

5. Gym and playground: After covid-19, people should go outside to make save distancing between each other to do their exercises perfectly and healthy at open spaces that enable them to get refresh Air. also creating spacious and flexible spaces for children to play in healthy and safe way.

The concept of change is beginning to appear more. The residents of New York have changed car parks to external sessions linked to restaurants and cafes, and the main purpose of it is to reduce closed places to reduce injury by street and transportation.

-This idea became popular among the world’s level, as street users gradually transformed them into open areas.

1.New transportation after covid-19 6. Offices and libraries: At the open spaces, that reduce the density and uses the solar system to charge their laptops and phones, also there are Wi-Fi

1. POST PANDEMIC BRIDGE:

2. STREET AND TRANSPORTATION

-People

have tended to improve residential streets by

closing them off cars and diverting parking lots to places in which different activities can be offered.

-Reducing cars, especially inside residential areas, reduces pollution and disease

BEFORE

AFTER

-As it is known, the highways that connect between the different and remote areas are an important element, but how do we reduce the reduction of pandemic and pollution and reduce the high density?

After stopping the cars and being careful to reduce them, people are instructed to use a means of transport that is considered healthier riding bicycles -Hidalgo argues that the 15-minute concept could hold more promise for cities such as Mexico City.

-It was suggested to design a special bridge for pedestrians and wheels, and different activities could be provided

1.HOURS OF WALKING AND ENCOURAGEMENT Figure 5. Suggested projects for cycling design Proposals have been made to design bicycles and special parking spaces for them that are environmentally friendly and motivate residents to maintain public health.

-The development of private parking spaces for transportation. And make it healthier for people, so that the focus is on the continuous sterilization of the cabin-The development of private parking spaces for transportation.

3. Architectural buildings found that the epidemic affects cities, not only streets, public squares and services, but also has a clear impact on the individual’s life, behaviors and the spaces whereabouts, if taken the Corona pandemic at the level, for example Architecture is part of the urban fabric of the city, It has been affected in a clear way in which major changes have occurred in terms of design and functionality to confront the epidemic, starting with the home, offices, schools, restaurants, etc.

The importance of the home garden which has economic benefit by using as a farm and also as a garden and a place for recreation and entertainment, especially in the event of a pandemic lockdown, it is considered a private outdoor

-All necessary precautions have been taken to protect street users -Of the new proposals under implementation for some countries, such as the city of New York

Principals for post pandemic in the CITY:

1. Homes (STAY HOME , STAY SAFE !!!!)

-The

home played a pivotal role in the recent global crisis. Forced to double as office, school, gym, even restaurant, whether it felt safe or suffocating, it came under forensic examination, and for many was found wanting.

1- Design aspects: The design is more flexible, especially with the challenges of the pandemic.

Design aspect (oration ): street-open spaces social distancing.

2. Design with in spaces: redoes area and depending in den siting.

3. Walkability: - Choose designs that help stimulate walking around residential areas to promote health 4. Accesses for outdoor spaces: People always need to enjoy public places, taking into account social distancing 5. Use for electret of smart city: - Provide comprehensive protection for the city.

6. The environment: - Using materials and designing cities with environmentally friendly.

- -Take advantage of renewable energies in developing cities

-Immunity boosting homes (finishing materials, opening ventilation, orientation ...)

- Design resilience, layout determined by need rather than history, for example living rooms for active rest and play.

Use of a number of entrances in the same building in order to keep the same density while minimizing clusters, that observed in buildings which accommodate a large number of individuals, such as residential, office buildings, etc. in addition to, the strong connectivity with the external environment to get a large amount of sun light and natural environment.

STRATEGIES:

The strategies to be followed to achieve a resilient healthy city with high density and quality: -Firstly, preserving the density of individuals, without addressing the separation people from work or specifying a number of residents in a building, but rather preserving it with tightening precautions through design and laws.

-Second, the trend towards smart cities that reduce friction between individuals which that cause disease transmission.

-15 minutes’ walk concepts to reach all needs, mall, coffee, shop, ,etc.

SITE TOPOGRAPHY

AIR & SUN MOVEMENT & NOISE 2-Pollutions

1-Cimate The wind is most often from the south (Nile Street) for 3.9 months, from June 12 to October 9, with a peak percentage of 69% on August 7. The wind is most often from the north (Blue Nile River) for 8.1 months, from October 9 to June 12, with a peak percentage of 96% on January 1.

Stack effect: multi-story designs with green roof/living ,can be very effective at encouraging natural convection .

– open areas that encourage air circulation ,so keeping vegetation moist around the houses to help cool the breezes (the yard).

The high rise building make shadows to the site from east side, that reduce the radiation that comes from the Nile.

The site is surrounding with open spaces using as different activities , also there are Nile street , Blue Nile river and Presidential villas. so that can be effected to the site from different aspects:

1-2 Noise The site is surrounding with open spaces uses as cafes ,so there are complex relationship between people that who seating in this areas, so that makes big noise.

- Also the movement of cars on Nile street ,especially at peak times causes inconvenience to residents in this area.

2-2 Visual's Pollution There are a lot of thorny trees around the site, which collect waste.

Also uses empty spaces as the places to wash cars so that make this area not healthy , Lack of proper utilization of the Nile Front. In addition to the unregulated recreational activities

Results of heat study analysis -Using green areas and water bodies to displace heat.

-The use of building and finishing materials absorbing sunlight.

-The use of trees silhouettes as breakers of sunlight.

-Offset distance of activities to not block rays from the neighborhood.

-Considering that tall buildings (at the east side ) blocking the sun from low buildings since the climate is hot.
