Policy and regulatory constraints to good land governance in Upper Egypt: The case study of Aswan – New Aswan

This research is concerned with identifying key policy and regulatory constraints to good land governance in Upper Egypt. It critically examines the present capacity of land governance policies to stimulate a balanced utilization of land that tackles Egypt’s ultimate challenge, to channel population growth out of the congested Nile Valley and Delta, and to the New Urban Communities (NUCs) closely located within its desert fringes.
