| Abstract | ||||
| There is a growing interest worldwide to increase the community awareness about sustainable development goals by engaging different categories of a society to participate in the process of sustainable community development. This importance of the society perception towards the role of community development, leads to the idea of an experiment research to engage a number of school children aged between (10-13) years old in the process of sustainable urban design. This experiment research is the result of a cooperation project between the Child University at Alexandria University, Egypt and Smithsonian Science Education Centre at USA. The research aims to document the experimental part of the project and how to engage children different in gender, abilities and education types in Alexandria into the design process for designing a sustainable open space in one of the informal neighbourhoods at Alexandria city, Egypt through applying principles of sustainable communities and sustainable development goals. | ||||
