The lack of efficient urban planning and management systems in Egypt combined with rapid urbanization has generated socio-economic challenges. The implementation of sustainable and well-targeted urban development interventions is therefore crucial and existing urban planning tools are not appropriate to make land available at a pace to match rapid urbanization, resulting in insufficient land supply, increases in land prices, and informality. In this regard, the project will contribute to the Egyptian government’s efforts in managing the expected increase in population and urbanization rates through managing the urban expansion of existing cities. The interventions in the pilot governorates will tackle issues of urban development from a multidimensional perspective, aiming to integrate spatial planning and land management on the one hand and public finance and investment planning on the other hand.
