     summary: Architecture Practicing in GCC Architecture record annual statistics of the top twenty firms in the world showed that 65% of the twenty top firms get more than 45% of their revenue out of practicing architecture design while 45% of them come from architectural engineering consultations. The most critical remark was the big difference in number of design courses and this, of course, affects the complexity of their projects.

     summary: In the spring-summer season, the net energy available is 24%, which is a significant masking of the solar energy for the presence of urban trees and urban building morphology. The contribution of urban trees in improving the microclimate, air quality, and living in cities is well-documented (Bernatzky, 1982; Rowntree, 1986; McPherson, Simpson, & Livingston 1989; McPherson, 1992; Mcpherson, Simpson, Xiao, & Wu, 2011; Simpson & Mcpherson, 1998; Scudo & Ochoa de la Torre, 2003; Santamouris, Synnefa, & Karlessi, 2011; Santamouris, Papanikolaou, Livada, Koronakis, Georgakis, Argiriou, & Assimakopoulos, 2001; Mascaró, 1996).

     summary: A typical courtyard in the Cordoba historic quarter Having discussed the socio-cultural relevance of the courtyard house in the previous section, the second aspect of its multi-determinant context, which is the climate, is discussed through a study into the environmental performance (internal temperatures) of a typical example of traditional courtyard house in Boussaada, Algeria (35◦20’N, 4◦12’E, 459 m above sea level). While courtyard houses exist in most parts of the Arab/Islamic world, they evolved in different ways “as influenced by existing local traditions, construction materials and environmental factors” (Sibley, 2006).

     summary: As discussed in detail in the next section, everything from rising temperatures to flash floods to sea level rise and more frequent cyclones, will adversely impact port infrastructure and the personnel which could seriously hamper the ability of the ports to carry out their operations and meet their targets. As one would expect, the study found that while all ports will indeed be affected by the impacts of climate change, the vulnerability varies significantly between the different sections of port infrastructure and operations.

     summary: The adoption of life-cycle thinking and practices in design, construction and end of life through the reuse of construction components and materials is one such action to achieve a sustainable built environment. The adoption of strategies for material efficiency, promoting circular economy concepts using life-cycle approaches in design, construction and end of life by re-using construction components or materials, is among the most critical of actions to achieve a sustainable built environment as stated in the latest Global Status Report for buildings and construction (UNEP, 2020).

     summary: However, with the looming threat of urbanization and the development of urban areas caused by an increase in the po pulation and the effect of migration from rural areas to urban areas, urbanization has in turn affected all the different types and sizes of communities; small villages turn into towns, and towns into cities, until it leads to the development of mega-cities, with more than ten million people. This increasing density of population in urban areas has led to health problems, consequently, death rates, historically, are higher in urban areas in comparison to rural areas, however, urban areas, worldwide, have managed to sustain their existence through the continuous migration of people from rural areas.

On one hand, the residents see the proximity of the settlement to the elite neighborhoods and developed areas as having potential, and on the other hand, it is also seen as a threat, as the builders and developers eye the locality for upscale development.

     summary: The growing body of research on this topic recognises that urban infrastructure is not simply a set of facile technical devices that control and regulate mechanical, electrical, informational, transportation, and/or other material flows, but rather a systemic network of interfaces that connect (or exclude) people, resources, services, capital and wealth. The reading of urban infrastructure from an adaptive territorial perspective helps us think about alternative modes of material and resource exchange.

Besides, bigger machines cost more money, quickly eliminating poor farmers from the game.
