Book Description
Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Sociology - Habitation and Urban Sociology, grade: B, University of Birmingham (International Development Department), course: Urban Development, language: English, abstract: Setting up a policy to fill in a certain gap is not an easy task and to develop a policy for addressing the housing problems especially for the poor is the most difficult one. This assumption aroused from the fact that any housing policy does not relate to housing by itself only but also associated with addressing the socio-economic changes that created unbalanced wealth distribution among the different categories within the country. In Egypt the problem of housing provision for low-income groups is really challenging because of the uncontrolled population and urban growth. The Egyptian Government has the good intention to respond to the needs of the poor, as the Government announced through its National Housing Project to “provide a shelter for every citizen” for that purpose it has initiated different housing schemes to solve the problem of housing provision all over Egypt especially for youth and low-income groups, but when it comes to reality, this target seems to be far ahead to be achieved. On the other hand, some of the latest Government trials proved to be successful as it managed to provide large number of beneficiaries with a healthy shelter, with affordable price that matches with their actual needs. In order to make the Egyptian housing policy for the poor more effective, different legislative and regulatory complications should be tackled and more participatory approaches should be adopted in order to understand what are the actual needs of the poor, and hence to be more responsive to them.

Book Description
A provocative analysis of the roots of Egypt’s housing crisis and the ways in which it can be tackled Along with football and religion, housing is a fundamental cornerstone of Egyptian life: it can make or break marriage proposals, invigorate or slow down the economy, and popularize or embarrass a ruler. Housing is political. Almost every Egyptian ruler over the last eighty years has directly associated himself with at least one large-scale housing project. It is also big business, with Egypt currently the world leader in per capita housing production, building at almost double China’s rate, and creating a housing surplus that counts in the millions of units. Despite this, Egypt has been in the grip of a housing crisis for almost eight decades. From the 1940s onward, officials deployed a number of policies to create adequate housing for the country’s growing population. By the 1970s, housing production had outstripped population growth, but today half of Egypt’s one hundred million people cannot afford a decent home. Egypt's Housing Crisis takes presidential speeches, parliamentary reports, legislation, and official statistics as the basis with which to investigate the tools that officials have used to ‘solve’ the housing crisis—rent control, social housing, and amnesties for informal self-building—as well as the inescapable reality of these policies’ outcomes. Yahia Shawkat argues that wars, mass displacement, and rural–urban migration played a part in creating the problem early on, but that neoliberal deregulation, crony capitalism and corruption, and neglectful planning have made things steadily worse ever since. In the final analysis he asks, is affordable housing for all really that hard to achieve?
