🌆 What is a smart city? Let’s break it down.

The term "smart city" often brings to mind tech-driven utopias, but it’s much more than just sensors and apps.

At its core, a smart city uses digital innovation to enhance the quality of life for all residents, making urban living more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable.

📊 A real smart city therefore should:

✔️ Integrate data-driven governance
✔️ Enable participatory planning
✔️ Enhance basic services like transport, water, and energy
✔️ Foster climate resilience and reduce emissions
✔️ Use tech to include, not exclude - especially in informal and underserved areas

💡 Smart doesn’t mean high-tech - it means people-centred planning, evidence-based decision-making, and climate-smart design.

Join us online for on Oct. 31 to discuss the role of digital innovation in cities 📲

A Major Step Toward Smarter Campus Planning!
Discover our research contribution: “3D-GIS Modeling of Mansoura University Campus for Evidence-Based Urban Decision Making”
Published in the International Review of Environmental and Architectural Engineering (IREA)

This study presents a 3D GIS model of Mansoura University Campus, designed to support data-driven urban planning and decision-making. By integrating spatial analysis and 3D visualization, the model enables stakeholders to better assess land use, infrastructure development, and future campus planning strategies.

This research was proudly supported by the Mansoura University Competitive Research Fund, empowering innovative academic projects with real-world impact.

📢 Call for Workshop 📢

REVITALIZATION OF HISTORIC WATERFRONT
Case Study of The Suez Canal Cities

Join us in an integrated urban design workshop in Port Said and Ismailia in Egypt. The Workshop is focusing on exploring the historic waterfront challenges and potentials. These waterfronts have played vital roles throughout history, enduring periods of prosperity and degradation, peace and conflict while serving both locals and foreigners. Today, these areas struggle to maintain their integrity and identity in the face of modern pressures. Thus, waterfronts are consistently among the most attractive points in historic cities, drawing not only locals and visitors but also investors and governmental development plans.

This workshop is exclusively for partner universities involved in the project, which include:
• Brandenburg University of Technology, Germany
• Cairo University, Egypt
• Alexandria University, Egypt
• Mansoura University, Egypt
• Baghdad University, Iraq
• University of Kurdistan Hewlêr, Iraq

👨‍🎓APPLICANTS ELIGIBILITY👨‍🎓
• The application is open for senior bachelor’s students and master’s students in the fields of architecture, urban design, urban planning, and heritage studies.
• All applicants must be affiliated with a study programme at Mansoura University, Egypt.
• The workshop has the capacity for 5 funded participants from MU, the funding covers accommodation costs and daily allowance during the workshop

📝APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS📝
For Mansoura University students, please send your application document as a single PDF file with a maximum size of 10 Mb to the registration form
https://forms.gle/a4hJK5LsEDN8unSZ6

Your application should include the following
• Letter of Motivation (max. one page)
