Description

The study shows that the three Egyptian cities have been able to accumulate fixed informal housing assets worth the equivalent of the government's budget for five years to come. Unleashing the potential of these informal assets through formalization could help the inhabitants of Egypt to show the way to prosperity in the global market economy. The diversity of case material and the specific policy focus make this book an important contribution to the formulation of future urban strategies in the South.
