| Egypt has an extensive uninhabited area on the eastern and the western desert. The populated areas are about 8% of the whole area of Egypt. The study focuses on developing economic, social, touristic, and industrial growth through enhancing planning, urban development, and government's policies. Across the last fifty years there was an awkward planning policies and urban development plans for new cities in Egypt. Still, a more professional posture is required to enhance the planning policies of the unbuilt environment. Egypt across the last fifty years used two different planning approaches in its way for solving the problem of population growth and the concentration of the population around the Nile valley. This paper aims to explore Egypt's policy of planning the new cities and how Egypt can develop new regulations and policies to enhance and utilize the potential of unused land in Egypt. This is in addition to identifying the most appropriate planning approach that is compatible with Egypt's conditions. In order for this paper to reach its objectives, it will conduct a comparative analysis between the two urban planning approaches pursued by the state to identify the advantages and disadvantages of each, and to recommend the most efficient and sustainable approach. | ||||
