1.0 Introduction Many of our cities are rapidly growing and overpopulated because of increasing of urban dense, as cities are always changing. In Egypt, we see reflection of that changing in the expanding of the construction of the new cities, from here comes the need for change and restructure the system of informal markets located within the capital (Souq Al Sabtieh - Faggala Market - Al Gomhoria Market - Shaq Al Thoban Market... etc.) which caused many negative effects to the traffic, urban environment, and others.

2. Site Selection 2.1 The Site Selection Criteria That are 6 points explaining the criteria of the site selection process. It is including, what the selected site should have. IN A NEW CITY & NEAR TO EMERGING CITIES
ACCESSIBLITY
AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES
Site Criteria
NEAR TO AN INDUSTRIAL AREA
Transportation
visibility
1. IN A NEW CITY & NEAR TO EMERGING CITIES Being the site in a new city and near to the new cities, that would support the establishment of new cities, with suppling and servicing requirements of construction materials and finishes in those new cities.
2. ACCESSIBLITY A major factor is having a site that easily accessible form more than one main road. A place, that does not have crowded streets, clean and not damaged streets.
3. Transportation Easy transportation means to and from the site. It would be beneficial for the site to be reached by all transportation means like cars, buses, and monorail in near future. Available transportation to and from the airport could be beneficial for the visitors.
4. visibility A positive trait is for the site to be visible from afar when accessing the site.
5. NEAR TO AN INDUSTRIAL AREA it is preferable to be in a n industrial area, to provide the site with products and materials for the sellers in the project.
6. AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES Availability of services is important for any site. Services like mosques, hospitals for any emergency happened in the site, restaurants, or cafes, hotels.

2.2 S.W.O.T. Analysis
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats
- The site is in a new emerging city “Bader City”.
- It is about (58 km) far between the new site and the old sites of markets.
- The site is near to the New Capital (18.6) km
there are residential areas near the site, that it will have negative effects from the site.
- Bader city is located on “Suez – Cairo” Rd, which consider an important regional transport Road.
there is industrial region next to the site.
- it is necessary to have a private car to go from the old to the new site, as no public transportation.
There are several new cities located near the site “shorouk – New Heliopolis – fifth settlement ….”

3. Site Analysis 3.1 Climate considerations 3.1.1 Temperature Range
Source: Climate Consultant
Fig.3.1.1. Temperature range in the site.
Conclusion: - From November to March the temperature is lower than the comfort zone so the building should be isolated from the outside weather. - From April to October the temperature is higher than the comfort zone so the need of good ventilation and is a must.
3.1.2 Wind velocity

Fig.3.1.2. Wind velocity in the site.
Conclusion: - The average wind speed in the site is 3m/s so the cross-ventilation solution is possible to achieve.

For six months of the year the climate there is very pleasant – comfortable enough to stroll and sit outside – that has inspired a sequence of public routes and squares in which the barriers between inside and outside are dissolved. That is open at night as well as during the day, these new spaces provide an important central place in the city during festivals and celebrations and are cooled naturally. For the remainder of the year, the spaces can be enclosed by roof panels that slide into place to enable the internal environment to be controlled more closely.
