Abstract

 There is a growing interest worldwide to increase the community awareness
about sustainable development goals by engaging different categories of a society
to participate in the process of sustainable community development. This
importance of the society perception towards the role of community development,
leads to the idea of an experiment research to engage a number of school children
aged between (10-13) years old in the process of sustainable urban design. This
experiment research is the result of a cooperation project between the Child
University at Alexandria University, Egypt and Smithsonian Science Education
Centre at USA.
The research aims to document the experimental part of the project and how
to engage children different in gender, abilities and education types in Alexandria
into the design process for designing a sustainable open space in one of the informal
neighbourhoods at Alexandria city, Egypt through applying principles of
sustainable communities and sustainable development goals.
