UN-Habitat has been working with officials from the Egyptian administration and other Egyptian experts in planning to propose some reforms of the previous highly centralized system. The project is looking at models of territorial governance and planning from different parts of Europe and Asia to assist the new regime devise a system of regional planning suitable for the Egypt.
