SUGGESTED GUIDING MODEL TO ACHEIEVE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO HELP GETTING OUT OF THE NARROW VALLY IN EYGEPT

Abstract

Starting from January 2011 Egyptian revolution, Egypt has started the way for achieving its development. Regardless the emerged obstacles, the thinker, and scientists started to prepare different development projects and polices in urban development, some of them got reviewed, others reinvented and the rest of them started to be implemented. The General Authority for Urban Planning announced the project of Egypt 2050 that depends on different development cores (Suez Cana, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Sinai development, and the new capital city) The main aim of this project was to overcome the highly increasing population that is expected to reach 145 million. This research discusses one of these development axes، Red Sea axe، from regional planning scale. Based on different strategies and theories of regional development and based on the international experiences in this field. The purpose of this research is to develop a framework for regional development. Based on one of Egyptian regions that is located in Red Sea axe، (lower Egypt region) and this is considered as the second region in its area that represent 16.17% of total area of Egypt with population not exceeding 4% of total population. The research concerns one of the locations in this region that is facing the red sea and has a huge natural potentialities، it is called Ras-Banas. The research aims to make this area one of the development poles and to be the region capital، which attracts population. The developed framework for regional development will be applied to this area to reach a theoretical model for developing Egyptian regions that achieve a real development to attract population from the narrow valley to the spread regions to achieve the required balance between population and area.
