Egyptian slums and land conflict: Pre- and post-slums eviction and relocation land governance challenges

Egypt has been facing the problem of expansion of the informal settlements and the deterioration of their living conditions for several years. Land-related problems in the slums are complex due to the illegal ownership of the houses and lack of land tenure. The research is an exploratory study that focuses on tracking the land-related challenges before and after the relocation phase and testing the efficiency of the applied system in El-Asmarat as a case study. Several research methods and techniques were followed to develop this research.
