Housing for All - A Better Urban Future; the Egyptian
Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities, represented by the
Housing and Utilities sector, and in cooperation with the United Nations Human
Settlements Program, launches the first Arab National Housing Strategy for
Egypt through a webinar on Monday 5 October 2020.
During the webinar, the strategy will be presented, discussed, and questions received to begin implementing the strategy through the housing and utilities sector in cooperation with UN-Habitat.
The Housing Strategy in Egypt represents a unified and integrated vision that effectively guides the housing sector over the next twenty years and fulfills the aspirations of all Egyptians to access decent housing while recognizing that the primary role of the government is regulation and empowerment.
Based on the analytical results of the housing profile, the strategy was prepared over several years with the participation of various governmental, academic, research, and community groups; and per the guidelines of the global housing strategy and the recommendations of the Arab strategy for housing and urban development.
The strategy also comes in line with global and regional requirements, including (the sustainable development goals 2030, the New Urban Agenda, the sustainable development strategy (Egypt Vision 2030), the National Strategic Plan for Urban Development 2050). The strategy is also characterized by a great deal of flexibility related to practical implementation based on implementation experiences and changing circumstances.
