Abstract

Over the last decades, the world has been facing a group of challenges and crises. Problems like droughts, gradual loss of natural resources, land deformation, and sea-level rise are pushing and stressing strongly on lands on the urban scale. In Egypt, one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change impact, soon, the Nile Delta will be threatened by the SEA LEVEL RISE Phenomenon(A. Salem,.2012)

Egypt, with its flat delta in addition to its diverse Red Sea and Mediterranean shorelines in different climatic zones, reshapes and reorients together the effect of global warming.(A. El Zafarany M., P. (2012). Impacts and vulnerabilities on the Egyptian landscape, especially shorelines, would cause severe changes on all social, economic, urban, and environmental levels(United Nations, 2002).Food resources, agriculture, land use, climatic conditions, and the economy would have dangerous and destructive effects. (United Nations, 2013).Urban planners and designers should translate and introduce different solutions and mitigation plans and give other alternatives rather than immigration. The research will discuss the possible living shoreline mitigation strategies, to adapt to the vulnerable impact on Nile Delta's shoreline communities.
