Building Cities and Settlements in the Desert
Building Cities and Settlements in the Desert
This chapter looks at the preoccupation of the Egyptian government with creating new towns and other settlements in the desert (twenty-two and counting), and the failure of these new settlements in attracting even a small fraction of their intended target populations. Issues addressed include real estate speculation and urban development in the desert.
