PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Context
Egypt's population is growing and increasingly lives in cities. There, they largely live in densely built, unplanned high-rise housing projects with inadequate infrastructure, overcrowded schools, and inadequate sewage and waste disposal. Children, women, and people with disabilities are particularly affected. Lack of adaptation to climate change, such as heatwaves, exacerbates health risks. To promote socially sustainable development and improve living conditions, Egypt must therefore further develop its cities.
Non-governmental organizations are partially taking over public services. However, these organizations and the administrations lack the strategies, methods, and knowledge for equitable and comprehensive urban development that includes all groups.
Objective
In selected regions (governorates) in Egypt, such as Giza and Alexandria, cities are being successfully developed through participatory and social approaches.

For example, climate-sensitive spatial analyses and participatory district planning are being used. The project thus creates the conditions for providing needs-based support to the population and better adapting cities to climate change.
Furthermore, the project is piloting practical measures in disadvantaged urban areas. For example, it is improving
