Abstract: In this Era we can feel how far the economic factors quite dominate largely in the field of urban design, which led to the gradual disappearance of urbanization aesthetics. Architecture has always been the mirror of civilization, unfortunately in the mean while cities turned to became without any aesthetic identity.
With the state great efforts in expansion and establishment of new urban cities and encouraging the community members to move to these new communities and leave the densely populated capital, there is a serious need to adopt new strategies in dealing with the aesthetics aspects of planning and designing these cities, whether in the functional or aesthetical side through cooperation with Specialized colleges to contribute in turning these cities to be attractive to the population.
Research importance:
The state is giving a remarkable attention to the field of residential projects, striving to achieve excellence in terms of efficiency of design functionally and aesthetically, making it necessary to follow different strategies in dealing with these projects.

Research goals:
1 - Raising the aesthetic aspects of the state housing projects.
2- To benefit from the technical capabilities of Art colleges and make use of them in the community service.
3 - Achieving cooperation between state institutions and technical Art colleges in the field of environmental design aesthetics.
