Abstract
Since the mid-1970’s Egypt adapted new desert development policies aiming at the construction of new towns and urban centers upon desert sites primarily to accelerate the process of decentralization of urban population centers and to conserve arable lands, by encouraging migration to these new areas with a promise for more decent jobs and a higher standard of living compared to what presently is in existence.
The need for more in depth studies, research and analysis prior to implementation of these policies is now gaining momentum to weigh down the specific merits and disadvantages which will justify further implementation of these policies.
These awesome responsibility which is laid upon the urban planners is a reflection of the governments’ determined effort to combat congestion in the megacities and provide the populace with better opportunities and higher living standards and to ultimately solve the perennial problem of inadequate space, scarcity of jobs and decaying standards. What will come out of these experiments will aid future policy makers how to deal with the unsormountable and never ending problems of decaying megapolis.
