Abstract

Today, the term sustainability manages to embed itself in all aspects of contemporary life. In Egypt, following the 2011 revolution, there is governmental pressure for rebuilding com-munities and providing long-term strategies for resilient and sustainable development. The pa-per presents a framework for resilient communities through identifying and integrating appro-priate successful social, cultural and environmental sustainability global practices, policies and technologies for adoption in Egypt with particular emphasis on Aswan as appropriate. This framework/road map will identify strategies for improving the biotic, abiotic and social aspects of Aswan city life and will have a positive impact on the economic development and social welfare of the citizens benefitting the poor & vulnerable populations in Egypt. The paper concludes by a set of strategies enhancing the liveability of Egyptian cities and improving the social aspects of city life with reference to Aswan.
