“Community of Interest” as a Method of Transformation Toward Integrated Green Community in Egypt

Globally, economic growth tends to be concentrated in cities. Due to the UN, by the year 2050, around two-thirds of people will live in urban and peri-urban regions. Increasing national wealth and providing the community with hope for a better standard of living are pushed toward massive migration from rural to urban areas. Migration impacts urban environments, infrastructure, and quality of life. Additionally, climate change will also have a negative impact on the environment, which might threaten urban areas. All these circumstances lead to the search for solutions. The focus of the search lies in exploring approaches to reduce pressure on cities while concurrently conserving and enhancing current natural resources. This article is claimed to study successful green communities with common interest examples in rural Egypt. Those communities’ interests could help to improve the quality of life for their residents and environmental improvement and may be the reason for reverse migration in the future. The research objectives are to highlight the main features of successful communities and state the influence factors that led communities of interest to achieve positive results. The research uses diagnostic and descriptive methods for studying the communities to set the features by comprehensive analysis to determine the common factors and detect the criteria. Finally, the outcome indicates that the extent of apparent features can be divided into three main elements (economy, environment, and human). Additionally, the suggested factors could be repeated in different spaces, and accordingly, the spaces could be transformed to be developed based on these results.
