Abstract

Al Shallalat Gardens are Alexandria's third-largest park, considered a heritage park. So there is an urgent need to protect these gardens in proper condition. Al Shallalat Gardens were divided into the northern one called El Bahariya and the southern one called El Qebleya section. This study was carried out in the southern section of Al Shallalat Gardens. AL Shallalat's south garden total area is 32600 m². Its borders are Abou Quer Street and Watch Square at the north, Omar Toson Street and Alexandria Stadium at the south, Suez Canal tunnel {AbdelMoneim Riad Tunnel} at the east, and Salah Mustafa Street at the west (Figure 1). In this study, the location of Al Shallalat's south garden is analyzed in all aspects and made a questionnaire to take the people's opinion of Al Shallalat's south garden, a historical green space deserted and underutilized despite its central and accessible location in the city, to determine the real reasons for disusing the garden to propose a development program capable of pushing the garden to attract people and achieve the best performance.
