- 3. 1.Introduction Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing became one of the most important types of science for Engineers in many ways and methods to apply in various fields, especially in civil engineering applications. In this report, I shall pay attention to these applications and discuss one of them in details (Suez Canal area development Project) which is of a great importance for our beloved home, Egypt. 2.Applications of Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing in Engineering 2.1 Engineering Projects Planning - Choosing road positions and determining best tracks of tunnels and their depths. - Choosing sites of new urban development (which will be discussed in details) - Pipelines routing. - Highways designs. - Dams and water structures positions planning. 2.2 Planning Traffic & transportation Engineering - Management of traffic system. - Detecting traffic problems causes for solving them accurately. - Underground and railway tracks Positioning.

Coastal management
- 6. Now as mentioned before, One of the most important applications of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is Urban planning over wide areas which governments use to develop manage the development of lands , A great example of this is Suez Canal area development project that will be discussed in details . 3. An application of Photogrammetry (Government national massive projects for development of Lands) - Photogrammetry and remote sensing are two sources of inputs for GIS or Geographic Information System, which is a very useful tool in Urban Planning and Land Use Planning LUP projects. - Governments use land-use planning to manage the development of land. The role that photogrammetry and remote sensing play in these massive projects appears as the first step of Action plans. Photogrammetry provide Engineers with Essential aerial photographs to produce maps that are used later in urban planning .

- 8. 4. An Example of Government Urban Planning and Development (Suez canal area Development Project) Aim of Project and Study area - The Suez Canal Corridor Area Project (Arabic: السويس قناة محور تطوير وع رمش) is a mega project in Egypt that was launched on 5 August 2014 by President Abdel Fattah el- Sisi. The project's aim is to increase the role of the Suez Canal region in international trading and to develop the three canal cities: Suez, Ismailia, and Port Said. - The project involves: 1- Building a new city (new Ismailia city), an industrial zone, fish farms, completing the technology valley. 2- Building seven new tunnels between Sinai and Ismailia and Port Said. 3- Improving five existing ports 4- Digging a new canal parallel to the Suez Canal. - The new canal will increase the canal capacity by allowing ships to sail into both directions at the same time for a greater proportion of the canal. The project will transfer the canal cities into an important trading center globally. It will also build new centers on the Suez Canal for logistic and ship services. 1. New cities
