Technological sustainability to achieve quality of life and reduce the impact of climate change

Architecture has been affected by technology and climatic changes, and this has led to the emergence of sustainable architecture and urbanism, which aims to preserve the environment, climate, energy and reduce pollution, as it is necessary to take in consideration the environmental aspect when choosing building materials during the design process to achieve sustainable buildings and cities, and this is where it appeared The importance of the role of technology in achieving urban and architectural sustainability of cities

Technological progress has allowed countries to enhance sustainable architectural and urban development plans to achieve a better quality of life for their citizens, and to provide a technological environment that enhances the feeling of happiness and comfort.

The problem is represented in the absence of applying the concepts of sustainability in city planning and the design of sustainable buildings, which negatively affects the performance of buildings environmentally, economically and socially, as well their awareness of the dimensions of sustainability and its role in creating environmentally friendly urban communities.

And that, within the framework of the strategic vision for urban development in Egypt and to come up with elements that can be applied to the Egyptian society, where the concept of architecture and sustainable cities was affected by technology, which has become a necessary goal to improve the quality of life of city users and not a luxury

The most important results of the research, that the use of technology in the field of sustainable development at the architectural and urban level constitutes a saving in construction costs, as it contributes in the long term to reducing operating costs. Also, sustainable design is economically costly compared to traditional design due to the high cost of equipment. to be incorporated into the building.

Where the use of technology in sustainable architecture aims to raise the level of environmental awareness, which aims to reduce negative impacts on the environment

The final recommendations were drawn that it is necessary to find committees for sustainable design to review the application of buildings to the requirements of sustainability, as well as the need to teach subjects related to the environment and climate and increase awareness of the environment and alternative energy, and at the governorate level the laws related to architecture and construction should be applied so that they are compatible with environmental requirements, which must meet the needs of society without harming the environment.
