المستخلص The vast majority of the population in Egypt concentrates in the Nile Valley in an area that does not exceed 4% of the total area of the country. While the population growth rates continued to increase for a long time, the efforts to add reconstructed desert areas to the inhabited land remained so limited. As a result, the overall population density continued to rise. The situation as such called for the necessity of the government to set up national strategies that aim at the economic expoloitation of desert areas. Such strategies planned TO Transform Those Areas Into Productive and inhabited settlements that encourage the population decentralisation from within the Nile Valley in order to move and resettle in new towns. It was planned, thus, that this would reduce the continuing pressure on the existing urban centres along the Nile. As a consequence, planning efforts have started, since 1973, to develop a number of separate new towns in the Egyptian desert. |
