A high-quality built environment is an urban environment that is bound to grow healthy and strong in the turmoil of time and crisis. Egyptian society had always been one that holds values that create a strong urban built environment strongly social and engulfed with the unbreakable bonds of culture and history. But there have never been the proper assessment guidelines for urban quality elements to aid an integrated fully functional sustainable development plan. This research paper presents guidelines for urban quality assessment to uplift sustainable development. Developing countries are in desperate need of new techniques to improve the quality of their urban quality, the lives of people drastically change when they feel like one with their community. The culture and personal needs of the Egyptian urban community should be taken into consideration to improve the quality of urban life.

Cities are emerging as key sites for action on climate change. Within cities, urban neighbourhoods are increasingly taking leadership in addressing local effects of climate change through mitigation and adaptation programs. Bottom-up action on climate change through neighbourhood scale programs presents opportunities in terms of getting the community to partner and participate in climate action. However, neighbourhood scale programs often run into challenges in terms of limited participation, impact and resources to keep the programs running. In this paper, we advance the literature on the opportunities and challenges of neighbourhood scale climate action. We do so by analysing three neighbourhood scale programs that address climate action in Canada and in Australia. We adopt online workshops as a research methodology where volunteers from the three programs share their experiences of opportunities and ways of overcoming challenges of neighbourhood climate action. Our findings illustrate that collaborative governance between the city and the neighbourhoods, incremental community building and consolidating local resources are important for advancing neighbourhood climate action. This paper adds to the thin body of knowledge on neighbourhood scale climate action and presents ways of overcoming the challenges of bottom-up climate action.
