Abstract
After the announcement of the 2030 Agenda and publishing of UN goals, the world paid attention to the importance of sustainable development. Vision 2030, adopted on the pillars of sustainable development, including the urban aspect. In the recent years, government has focused on unsafe slums’ challenge. It is considered extremely critical issue. It has a lot of environmental and economic repercussions, for that its development has become a vital requirement. Government, represented by the ministry of housing, has put a policy of demolition and re-housing to develop these areas. The research highlights on this issue by presenting the unsafe slums’ problems, and the government’s recent efforts to face this issue. It depends on Egypt vision 2030 to achieve sustainable development for housing projects in its three pillars (social- economic- environmental), in addition to, the two aspects (urbanism- governmental associations). The aim of the research is suggesting framework to evaluate re-housing projects based on sustainable development dimensions for residential projects and Egypt vision 2030. This framework was ranked to arrange them according to its priorities and examined it in evaluating 3 re-housing projects: (Al-Asmarat - Rawdat Al-Sayeda Zainab - Maspero Triangle), through an electronic questionnaire with a group of (30) experts.
