National Urban Policy: The New Constitution of Urbanization in Egypt

November 7 @ 10:30 11:30

Cities are on the frontline of many of the global challenges the world is currently facing. In Egypt, 75% of the GDP is generated in urban areas and 80% of the jobs are in cities. The slow urbanization rate and the large discrepancies in the Egyptian cities, with the rapid growth of Cairo and Alexandria compared to other regions and cities, there are few available opportunities for inhabitants which are one of the main bottlenecks impacting the social, economic, and environmental sustainability.


Urbanization is the trend of the 21st century, it is inevitable and happening. Sustainable urbanization can be a transformative force, creating prosperity for all, and leaving no place and no one behind. It can create inclusive societies if managed well.
