Therefore, the main objective of the project proposal is to encourage sociocultural programs, aimed at the Alexandrian population, especially for women, children, young people and the elderly. Stimulating and raising awareness of social and cultural learning for residents of the region and the preservation of the city's history, in this perspective, through the appropriate location of inviting and inclusive wooded areas, leisure and contemplation areas. Strengthening even more the spirit of coexistence and fraternity in the community. The program includes, in addition to the Community Center, an open-air square for exercising and contemplation, kiosks for food, a multi-sport court, changing rooms, spaces for fairs, a children's space and a walking/running track with excellent visual permeability. The initial design stage consisted of an analysis of the city's urban facilities, in addition to an online questionnaire carried out with Alexandrian citizens to design according to the local reality.
