the city limits . this results in gas, acoustical and lighting pollution affecting human taste and
behavior leading to a Catastrophic cultural pollution .

of the urban environment with it's all phases, and we cane form that in a simple equation : ( a
normal person work to find a natural and balanced environment or a natural and balanced

balance in addition to the vital environmental balance. The goal of this research is to analyze the
use of vegetation as an important landscape element in Egyptian urban spaces . in which this study
doesn't take the enough attention as an element of the design and planning elements and not as
complementary element to any of them, specially in the Egyptian city which become in a bad need
