Urbanization of Egyptian Universities as One of the Factors of the Legal Personality of Universities and its Impact on the Quality of Education and Study Environment (Case study: Helwan University).

Universities are the path to progress, urbanization and comprehensive development, and the pulse and artery of countries, and they have a major role in serving the community and forming youth awareness. And universities, with their human components represented by faculty members, leaders and students, in addition to their physical components represented in their educational buildings and urban spaces, are among the most important elements and factors that greatly affect the personalities and capabilities of their users, especially the youth category.

Studies and research have proven that there is a close relationship between the nature of the university environment and students’ behavior, achievement and attitudes towards study. Perhaps one of the most influential urban spaces on students is the external spaces of the university campus, where community activities and their actual needs overlap.

Despite the presence of many universities in important locations within the Egyptian cities, it is spent on these universities annually under the terms of maintenance and raising efficiency and development from the government budget, but these universities lack in most of them the legal architectural personality that characterizes each of them.

Therefore, the research aims to identify the urban problems in Egyptian universities, and studying the impact of the urban design of the university on the quality of education, the study environment and the personality of the student, with an attempt to make a study of the needs and activities of the users, including students and faculty, and taking Helwan University as a study sample and extracting the results of the study, which can then be generalized and applied to Egyptian universities.
