Abstract

Recently, Developing countries are suffering from rapid increase in slums. In Egypt, slums spread around main cites with a minimal control form the government, people build homes without any permissions and not comply with construction and health standers. In additional, public services offices, schools, hospitals, electricity, clean water and sewerage system do not exist. This research is devoted to present a proposal to overcome slums' problems in EL-SAFEH and EL-HAWEES villages. A survey was conducted among 30 residential families to define the problems, identify causal factors and people need. The research shows a lot of results and recommendations to tackle these problems. One of the most important suggestions is to build new compounds as a replacement for the old and dilapidated buildings that suffer from underground and sewage water or those that are nearby high voltage transmission lines.
