There are 13 raised railroads, expressway bridges, and three enormous person on foot connects in the city. The extension in the sixth Oct is in excess of 10 kilometer. From the previous, Cairo is a city is the Egyptian focus of financial, transportation and politic. The advancement clear impacts the nation. Today, many creating nations are confronted with issue of urbanization. As the principal open nation in the Arabian world, Cairo assumes a vital job in urbanization which can't be overlooked. Existing urban arranging procedures The general end-all strategy which set up in 70s in to make a super agglomeration or poly-atomic City to oblige enormous populace development brought about by rustic urban relocation. In every individual satellite town, it expected to act naturally adequate which included private, business and diversion advancement so as to decrease the requirement for driving. Ring street, metro and other transportation framework ought to be worked so as to serve growing settlements. In farming angle, it urges improvement to spread toward the east and west of the downtown area, into desert land, to abstain from expanding on significant supplement rich arable land in the Nile Delta. In Figure ii, it shows the first proposition of development motion at west and east course. Sadly, the all-inclusive strategy has fizzled. The arrangement doesnt have noteworthy impact on the urban turn of events. Its for the most part as a result of naã ¯ve urbanization which didnt consider some fundamental social issues well. To start with, the end-all strategy secured huge territories; be that as it may, the infrastructural improvement fell behind. Second, the new satellite town neglected to draw in populace. (Table 1)The objective of populace can't be done and there are insufficient work openings in some of improvement regions. Input from Interview People groups perspectives are constantly considered as the most remarkable proof. Prior to beginning profound research of the undertaking, a meeting has been taken by M. Shaker in Cairo. Along these lines, the general assessments have been examined and broke down. The meeting is concentrating on their living arrangement history, the area they seek to live in and their assessments about the midtown zone. The number of inhabitants in downtown is contracting forcefully and the motivation behind why individuals dont need to live in the midtown region is fundamentally appeared in the pie diagram. Nature of living and traffic condition appear to be concerned for the most part. Additionally, in the bar diagram, it plainly demonstrates that working near occupants is the most significant factor for work choice. To summarize it, individuals expected to move out of the midtown for better lodging and living condition. They likewise need the new settlement to give openings for work with the goal that they can work near their habitation. pAs the investigation of meeting data, the fundamental issues and logical inconsistencies turn out in two perspectives: one is about the living quality and the lodging status with enormous number of provincial populace, and another is about traffic issues with the improvements of satellite towns. Living Quality The number of inhabitants in Cairo expanded strongly from 1970 to 5.9 million, up to 8.7 million to 1980. In 1996, it arrives at 14.6 million which is a fourth of this countrys. Be that as it may, Cairos populace is as yet developing at a pace of 0.35 million every year. The populace is excessively huge to tremendous weight on Cairo. (CAPMAS 1997) Right off the bat, there are the nourishment deficiencies. Cairo devoured half of the absolute imports of the nation; any city on the planet can't be analyzed in this point. Import nourishment costs continue rising, in spite of the fact that the legislature goes through colossal totals of cash for nourishment sponsorships, the outcome isn't satisfying. Furthermore, it caused the inhabitants of Cairo declining way of life. From 1985 to 1989, the general purchaser cost nearly expanded twofold, and it continues expanding. Third, the enormous number of individuals ran into the city cause a genuine deficiency of rustic work power and joblessness to the residents. In 1961, the national joblessness rate was 4.7%, Cairo joblessness rate was 7.5%. In 1970, the national joblessness rate was 2%, Cairo was 7.6%. In the interim, the youthful populace is another test in Cairo, According to measurements, 1988 the populace matured 0 to 14 represented 40%. The enormous number of youngsters will squee ze Cairo social and monetary advancement later on. What is the explanation behind populace development in Cairo? It has the substantial urban capacity. The thickness of its urban capacities is most noteworthy in Africa. It stacks half of the business in the nation and it needs to primary worldwide and local exchange exercises. What's more, it has instruction establishment, for example, Al-Azhar University, Cairo University and American University. As the Governments street development, lodging, water, power and other open offices set in Cairo, which decides the administrations larger part of speculations are remaining in the zone. Accordingly, it gave considerable work openings here, then again, humble communities and rustic territories foundation development will be absence of assets. It so that grow the hole among urban and rustic zones. The differentiation cause provincial youth would prefer not to return home after graduation. In the other hand, essentially, there are three kinds of lodging in Cairo: A. Genuine lodging. It was isolated into three kinds: 1. Nations to lease and sell or give lodging to the national staff. 2. Helpful lodging (Cooperative). 3. Private lodging. B. Illicit development. Since 1960, yearly lodging development represented 70% of urban lodging around 60000 units of lodging every year, is essentially for residents with low salary. C. Ghettos. They are principally utilized by individuals with most reduced pay and new settlers. The genuine lodging is getting old and loses their appreciation for residents, however the ghettos are continuing developing and spread the greater part of the urban spots. The Government can't stop the poor to manufacture that as the low livelihoods they have. The Roof room impact shows a lodging lack in Cairo. Today, in the city, the numerous structures left room on the top and those spots are decent spot for poor people. Subsequently, the ghetto and casual settlements became solid impression of some advancement site. These thick centralizations of human and financial action are frequently situated close to production lines, trash dumps, or different toxic exercises where ousting pressures are generally low. While ghetto occupants commonly plan, fund, and fabricate their own networks, they don't have the monetary assets to likewise develop essential foundation like waste removal and seepage offices. With little help prospective from outside the ghettos, these offices are frequently insufficient, bringing about debased and unfortunate living and poor natural conditions. Casual lodging and ghetto territories are, as a rule, the wellspring of condition contamination, both above and underground, ghetto and casual networks in the GCMR are ordinarily found in the created parts of the GCA. (M. EI Araby 2002) The contamination of Cairo is another huge issue and causes individuals to escape from it. Today, the engine vehicle emanation is significant wellspring of the air contamination. Another source is modern outflow. Since a portion of the high thickness of substantial industry situated close to the city, the air contamination is extremely perilous to general wellbeing particularly youngsters. All the individuals are attempting to escape from those modern districts. Those show that the earth of living in downtown region is downright awful and in any event, deteriorating; consequently, new settlements were worked for individuals particularly for those can manage the cost of another house and need to have a superior expectation for everyday comforts. A portion of those settlements included working, instruction and other living framework; it turned out to be increasingly more independent and part from the city principle part. Later on, as satellite towns expanding, the populace will be haul out of the city and scatter to the desert. Transportation issues Traff
