Abstract

This study explores the principles of planning for open spaces in Egyptian industrial cities; these spaces create the identity that gives them special patterns, forms, features, and characteristics. The current situation in those industrial cities is a critical and accumulated dilemma, as there is no more sense or special design for our industrial cities’ spaces. All the attention is being paid to the buildings themselves, with little concern for their spaces. So, this research attempts to look forward to specific principles for open spaces planning in the industrial city that will meet the needs of users and city dwellers. The study analyzed a master plan of international experience and observed the cases to identify the most important principles and criteria used for planning and designing open spaces. The focus on industrial cities and the practical implications of the study are also important, as they highlight the necessity to develop open space design, planning, and management in order to set of planning principles that include consideration of the function, Social, environmental, and Aesthetic aspects.
