“…The state also resorted to establishing a city that represents a new administrative capital as one of the solutions to move the center of the capital to a more organized and planned area to empty the old heart of the capital and to deconcentrate the population and divert them away from the congested centers. The city is designed to accommodate 7 million inhabitants on a total area of 700 Km2 [14]. Despite the continued random growth processes on the borders of the urban space of Egyptian cities, the total area implemented in the new cities, which amounts to about 750 thousand feddans, could have been deducted from the currently cultivated areas in the Valley and the Delta in case that these cities were not established [9].…”

Egypt has an extensive uninhabited area on the eastern and the western desert. The populated areas are about 8% of the whole area of Egypt. The study focuses on developing economic, social, touristic, and industrial growth through enhancing planning, urban development, and government's policies. Across the last fifty years there was an awkward planning policies and urban development plans for new cities in Egypt. Still, a more professional posture is required to enhance the planning policies of the unbuilt environment. Egypt across the last fifty years used two different planning approaches in its way for solving the problem of population growth and the concentration of the population around the Nile valley. This paper aims to explore Egypt's policy of planning the new cities and how Egypt can develop new regulations and policies to enhance and utilize the potential of unused land in Egypt. This is in addition to identifying the most appropriate planning approach that is compatible with Egypt's conditions. In order for this paper to reach its objectives, it will conduct a comparative analysis between the two urban planning approaches pursued by the state to identify the advantages and disadvantages of each, and to recommend the most efficient and sustainable approach.

“…As stated by Y. Serag (2017), the new administrative capital in Egypt is expected to propose a frog leap in the Egyptian economy providing valuable opportunities in the economic development of Egypt. Having a new capital will provide a capacity to discharge the over-population from Cairo-the current capital- (7) .…”

As per the New Urban Communities Authority, the R3 district in the New Administrative Capital was planned to deploy high technological smart systems to monitor and optimize energy consumption through the operation of the building, yet these systems were not installed due to financial issues.…”

“…(2018) proved that, in Makkah, hot arid zone which is similar to the case study of this research, applying insulation to the walls improves the thermal performance and reduces the energy consumption of the building. They stated that in such climate, it is recommended to have a window to wall ratio of 10% only (7) . While Huang et al (2021) stated that improving the thermal insulation by adding more insulating materials is considered effective way of improving the thermal performance of opaque building elements (walls) (8) .…”

Global warming and environmental challenges are becoming major issues in every aspect of our life and specially in architectural design. The need to follow environmental architecture standards is crucial issue in this time. Egypt has a code for improving the energy efficiency of all building types. However, the residential sector doesn't fully comply to these standards and measurements. This research explores the compliance of the building envelope of R3 residential complex project in the administrative capital as it represents a prototype that will widely be implemented in different areas across the new administrative capital. The research also studies the potential energy savings resulting from optimizing the building envelope to comply with the Egyptian Code for Improving Energy Efficiency in Buildings. The research analysis and simulation revealed that the building envelope is not compatible with Egyptian Code for Improving Energy Efficiency in Buildings for residential buildings. Following the code for the building envelope elements can achieve annual energy consumption savings that are up to 20%.
