Technical aspect: pre-fabricated construction, easy
to use.
Urban aspect: studying the areas required and the
design flexibility.
Conclusions and lessons:
Care about human factors, and offer the poor
communities a better social position.
Design simplicity (demanded by the poor) supports
the participation capability.

a basic factor in
a successful
urban

Studying funding alternatives & considering the
target (low income) prevent the project from surprises, and controls it to reach its end successfully.
Country side upgrading & Family culturing, is directly reflected on the city urban condition.
PHASE II PROGRAM DESIGNInternational Experiences in upgrading projects
EXAMPLES:4 Land Sharing in Bangkok ..TILAND..-8
Pattern of separate
landholdings before
pooling
Pattern after pooling - including
new street layout, parkland,
and sites for city expansion
Kaohsiung City, Taiwan
PHASE II PROGRAM DESIGNInternational Experiences in upgrading projects
EXAMPLES:4 Land Sharing in Bangkok ..TILAND.. : The five basic requisites of land sharing are
1- Community organization: Negotiations for land sharing
require that slum dwellers organize to counter the thread of
eviction.
2- A land sharing agreement: This requires a binding
agreement to partition the land. Usually the land parcel
with the best development potential is allocated to the
landlord.
3- Densification: Rehousing the community in a smaller area
requires increased residential densities.
4- Reconstruction: The increase in density and the need to
clear part of the site usually necessitates the reconstruction
of houses.
5- Capital investment: Reconstruction requires capital from
the domestic savings of the residents or loans from outside
sources.

GENERAL PREVIOUS ,PRESENT AND FUTURISTIC VISION
Historical brief about Egyptian experience in solving the informal settlements problem:
.
1966 Law no. 29 : Infrastructure for informal settlement.
1967 The relapse : Sudden emigration from the canal.
1967 Rise in housing units cost + Possessioning increscent.
1975 The ministry took charge of it all, (too much) instead of local
leaders.

70-80th 80% of the Built houses were informal.
90th 46% of the civil society population lived in informal settlements.
(20% of the Egyptians)
60-90% Concrete Jumped from 7 LE to 200LE.
1993 12 millions live in 1034 informal settlements.
46% of people in Cairo lived in informal settlements of an area =
24% of Cairo land area .
93-97 A plan to develop the city margins & secondary areas.
70th till now 84% of the constructed units are informal settlements.
REFERENCE : MONSTRY OF HOUSING..2003
GENERAL PREVIOUS ,PRESENT AND FUTURISTIC VISION
Futuristic vision towards a solution:
-A governmental plan took hold to construct a national housing project with a rate of 85000 unit per year, for 5 years ( total= 425000 unit ).
Recommendation for such project:
1) Considering the Egyptian mentality, priories and paying capability, which will specify the housing models.
2) People participation in decisions making and financial funding.
3) Ngo`s injection for community development.
4) Suitable jobs opportunities.
5) Considering the exponential rate of population growth, and lands for urban future extensions.
6) A strong economical base for new urban communities.
-
GENERAL PREVIOUS ,PRESENT AND FUTURISTIC VISION
Proposal policy:
1) Governmental investment increasing ( new cities, tourist resorts…etc) to reach the required budget for the first stage.
2) New formal housing construction ,with its all services and infrastructure requirements, the selected area depends on the incoming fund from the investments.. totally funded by the government and the world bank. People will participate financially in the next stage.
3) Flexible housing units ,in areas and designs. (20,40,60) m2 for example.
4) Mass media role in the project presentation. (showing a new educational and economical base concept in the new housing).
5) Removing the old slums, and reconstructing a new human formal housing with designs similar to old ones.
6) Neighbor will inhabit this new formal housing to evacuate another slum area to be developed.
7) Repeating this process will : a- Replace informal housing with formal one .
b- Create a new formal housing for low income.
