Hafez Housing & Building National Research Center (HBRC), Egypt Abstract INTRODUCTION: Initial patterns of urbanization world demonstrate differing scenarios in different continents, requiring diverse methodologies, policies, and strategies. The information & communication technology (ICT) leads to the development of the city management and smart economy which does not adhere to borders and nationalities. The Egyptian economy passed through various stages of development in the last few years, the government policy has National Egyptian initiatives towards the Smart Economy. OBJECTIVES: Stand on the structure of the smart economy to draw the path for Egypt's local economy to evaluate the existing economic state and conclude to a guiding methodology towards the smart economy in new Egyptian cities. METHODS: Analytical approach to investigate "concepts, the smart economy as a pillar of smart city, urban entities, examples of smart economy projects around the world". Cross-analysis between national governmental initiatives in Egypt to support the smart economy and some development indicators in the new cities. RESULTS: The difference in the locations, inhabitants' nature of new cities, requires various and varied approaches to process towards the smart economy. CONCLUSION: The research proposes an adaptation methodical plan for developing the smart economy concept in New Egyptian cities, this plan depends on the constants, variables, policies on both national & local levels.

  • Annaulreport MISR BANK 2004-2005.Pdf
    Mr. Mohamed Kamal El Din Barakat Chairman During the fiscal year 2004/2005, the Egyptian government undertook significant structural reforms to the financial and monetary policies that led to an increase in the GDP (gross domestic product) growth rate to 5.1% compared to 4.2% in the previous year as well as a reduction of the inflation rate to 4.7%. Furthermore, the foreign exchange markets witnessed stability and the monetary reserves of foreign currencies increased to more than $20 Billion. This improvement was reflected upon all market sectors including banking. Consequently, it impacted Banque Misr's financial achievements for this year where total assets had grown by 17.3% to reach L.E 106.8 billion. As for the deposits, they grew by 16.3% to reach L.E 93.2 Billion and the shareholders' equity increased by 2.6% to reach L.E 3.5 Billion. Concerning loans, the total loans portfolio grew by 3.8% to reach L.E 37.8 billion. Furthermore, the bank continued its support for small and micro finance projects by offering credit facilities engaging higher employment rates for economy support. The financial investments increased by 26% to reach L.E. 39.1 Billion. In this context, the Bank's newly introduced investment fund with daily current revenue (day by day account) was highly accepted by the customers. This was reflected by the increase of its net value from L.E. 200 Million on its issuance date during August 2004 to reach more than L.E. 2 Billion by the end of July 2005, the total profits before provisions and taxes increased by 74.3% to reach L.E.

In this consider, this study aims to investigate the performance of different solar radiation models to predict the monthly average daily global solar radiation on a horizontal surface. To achieve this, the measured global solar radi- ation data for a case study location are used. The model predictions are compared with the measured data to introduce the most accurate model for estimating the global solar radiation. The performance of each model is evaluated based on the different statistical indicators. The results show that the Robaa model has the best performance among the other models. Consequently, it can be used for estimating global solar radiation on a horizontal surface in the location under consideration.

This has motivated urban microclimate research in Egypt. The main objective was initially to improve outdoor thermal comfort. Therefore, Egyptian research started with assessing different existing patterns for the sake of climate responsive and sustainable urban design practice characterized with low carbon, thermal comfort and energy efficiency in such a hot arid conditions. That is why the review workflow of this article has followed a design progress workflow that led to solving design complexities with regard to generating housing urban forms on a microclimate basis rather than an article regular review workflow in order to extract the research gaps and conclude insights.

ABSTRACT Estuaries play an important role in exchanging water and providing a navigational pathway for ships. These zones are very sensitive and vulnerable to any interventions in coastal dynamics. Almost, major of these inlets experience coastal problems, such as, severe erosion, and accretion. Rosetta promontory is an example of this environment. It suffers from many coastal problems as erosion problems along the coastline and siltation problem inside the inlet. It is due to lack of water and sediment resources as a side effect of constructing Aswan High dam, AHD.
