Role of Time Management in Municipal's Urban Activities, Due to The Egyptian's Legislations
Abstract
Large cities in Egypt suffer spread of urban distortion phenomenon, which resulted from several causes; absence
of project management concept is one of the most of these causes. Project management and its computer based applications;
in terms of time management; is the latest and became one of the most spread trends in the modern building industry. Most
of construction projects in Egypt do not implemented through project management concept especially the domestic housing
projects that represent most urban activities which permitted and implemented under inspection of the Municipalities. The
research attempts to highlight the importance of time management in managing the urban activities in Egyptian
municipalities in terms of implementation of the permitted projects. At first the research reviews the Egyptian building
legislations in terms of building permissions, and specifies the weaknesses in the legislations that influence the distortion in
the cities' image that resulted from absence of the project management techniques. Then the research reviews the project
management through two of most famous bodies that deal with the architecture and construction points of view. These lead
us to the necessity of reviewing the most used project time management techniques and there computer based applications
and define the optimum one to be used in municipal's urban activities. Finally the research links between the project time
management and the building's legislations in terms of issuing and implementing the building permissions. At the end
conclusion and recommendations impose some modifications for the building legislations to be taken in consideration.
