Abstract:

Gated urban communities have become widespread phenomena in most of our world countries and are expected to become the modern model of the new garden cities of the 21th century that may be the end of the phenomenon of the public city known before, closed urban communities became obvious and desirable in the Egyptian society from upper and middle class. As a new pattern in the new residential communities. And it was spread to Egypt fast and coincided with the energy crisis as a result of the huge technological development and excessive use of traditional energy sources, especially in luxury gatherings, and these gatherings became only limited to high social classes in Egypt, which is a wrong idea that linked the green sustainable urban with high cost and absolute prosperity that lead to losing the main idea of sustainability. This requires creating an innovative approaches and concepts that can be applied and effectively implemented in an effective way to achieve the concepts and principles of well-being-based sustainability that doesn't lose the level of assembly that these classes are looking for, by applying intelligent architecture to communicate in urban development processes. Finally, the paper summarizes the need for sustainability, which can include luxury and does not contradict it, and achieve the sustainability of closed private gatherings, especially luxurious, using modern smart technologies in a category that looks forward to everything that is new and distinguished and brings prosperity and difference. From this point of view, the study deals with monitoring the phenomenon of the spread of closed urban communities in Egypt, in the form of clusters of the upper and upper middle classes, which have led to unbridled absolute welfare, which is far from the principles of sustainability.
