Abstract

The Egyptian cities have expanded over time and different changes have occurred in their historical formation and urban characteristics. That's followed by many problems that took place either in absence or misapplication of city planning and preserving restriction laws. Additionally, despite of excessive studies and governmental attempts, the informal expansions became the main problem of the Egyptian cities that cannot be controlled until now, which needs great efforts for a sustainable solution. Therefore, this study aims to draw a thorough vision of the Egyptian cities' urban expansion problems by analyzing their urban expansion trends, patterns, problems, and the govemmental responses towards them.
