Abstract

With the increasing horizontal expansion of the Egyptian Urban in some medium-sized cities turned into Overcrowding stage due to lack of building area, Government moving to  Build new cities to reducing Overcrowding in cities and accommodate future population growth.
However, the direction of urban planning of new cities still follow the same old approach in the planning, with modern techniques and assistance programs can be used to get a more accurate and comprehensive in terms of climate studies for residential buildings schemes which achieves savings of energy consumption.
Selected the new city of Mansoura as a case study because of similar new specifications in Egypt in terms of climate convergence and its relation to or with common urban problems in most Egyptian medium-sized cities that are growing urban agricultural land surrounding the expense of the city, as well as from planned at the moment cities.
Find proposes towards the planned strategy with specific vision using simulation and analysis software, which proposes optimal shape for planning in this region, according to climate data have to, in order to obtain lower power consumption.
