Abstract
Urban growth has become a synonymous with informal areas growth in Egypt, Sadly, Informality has become one of the urban and rural areas‘ characteristics. It is becoming a dire need to provide plan-oriented development projects to change the form or nature of land-use within informal areas to improve public facilities (roads, housing, proper infrastructure, services… etc.) that, accordingly, will promote better housing. This paper aims to provide a result-based analysis for the Land Readjustment Method (LRM) in Egypt, as an alternative method for urban upgrading strategies with respect to the Egypt‘s urban / rural policies‘ settings. It presents an in-depth search and analysis of LRM, as a method that has proved its feasibility in many developed and developing countries. The paper settings take place within a successful Egyptian Case study ―El Rezqa Area, Banha, Qalyoubia Governorate, Egypt‖ that applied LRM in natural policy and institutional Egyptian settings. The project has been carried out by UN-Habitat professionals and volunteers. The paper relies on a well-established online platform (LR.org) for defining the criterion on which it can be possible to check any urban or rural area and measure how feasible the LR M can be implemented as an upgrading strategy. The paper depends the most on an explanatory approach, where Land Readjustment method then analytical where it comes to the El Rezqa Area as the casestudy where LR has been implemented.
