Abstract

Planting facades or balconies could be a simple short method of supporting urban development; it could be considered a first step and easy solution for deurbanized countries. Most of the third world countries have internal problems that impact their whole environment, especially at the urban level.Egypt is one of those countries that suffers from financial problems, and where government is not playing its role in supporting urbanization even in the new areas (e.g. New Cairo). However, Façade greenery (especially balconies) could be an easy step to start paying attention to urbanization as a new field (This could also encourage different subgroups e.g.- (apartment owners, government, civil organizations) to develop their facades in order to create a better urban environment.That is why the researcher started to think about different alternatives through case-studies to find out the best method to achieve an easy to maintain cost-effective façade greenery within a short period of time.
