The main goal of the ‘DeltaTU-Partnership’ project is to enhance the urban and social quality in the Egyptian Delta by using interdisciplinary urban technical solutions to solve the environmental and economic problems in urban and urban centres, which are lacking adequate urban and sanitation infrastructures. That through establishing a new international Technical-Urban program in the architectural engineering education among a German-Egyptian university partnership in the Nile-Delta region. The project will increase the graduates potential of establishing new socio-economic models into local cases dies based on developing new building and urban technologies, environmental techniques in energy water and sanitation systems in the urban and agriculture activities to enhance the living and economic quality in rural, urban and urban areas to reach zero-poverty rates.
Vision
‘ESU-Lab 95%, Egyptian Sustainable Urbanism Lab’, ‘ESU-Lab,
is a special unit at the Dept. of Architecture Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Mansoura University. ESU-Lab provide professional research and practice services forward to the urban, architectural and technical research fields to solve the educational, social and environmental issues. ESU-Lab is also an incubation for innovative concepts and applications thorough partnerships, research studies, and ideas exchange in the national and International scale supported by national and international funds.
ESU-Lab Team engages professional academics, expertise, practitioners, postgraduate and undergraduate students to provide academia-community-practice network to contribute to the local and international environment by the mean of applied researches in sustainable urban and environmental development in Egypt and MENA region through multidisciplinary academic cooperation funds
Mission
