a) provide technical support and expertise for pilot urban public transport projects with the aim to slow GHG emissions from individual vehicles by implementing public transport policy; and b) Collaborate with the Egyptian government to overseeing a public transport improvement in Alexandria – this study is funded by EU 87 . In December 2014, Egypt’s Prime Minister issued and sent a letter to all government entities to save 20 per cent of fuel cost. This decree was also supported by the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources’ letter that was issued to save energy in all administrative buildings in this sector. It also includes the provision for lowering fuel consumption of governmental vehicles to save on fuel cost, switching off air conditioning (AC) systems by the end of working hours (16:00), and setting AC’s temperature at 24°C to lower energy use. This Energy Efficient Plan is applicable to public buildings and aims at saving energy use and lowering CO 2 emissions. Urban Planning Strategy In Egypt, the vision for developing cities, in general, has been set by the General Organisation for Physical Planning (GOPP) to include: a) Environmental competitiveness; b) Eco-friendly; and c) social equity. Also, the development pillars for cities were outlined to address SD, including 88 : • Better environmental sustainability (BES), • Develop infrastructure for transportation and network, • Ensure effective system of governance for management of development projects, • Develop new urban communities and diverse attractive urban centres, • Create a better tourism environment, • Ensure competitive environment for knowledge based economy, and • Achieve social justice and improve social conditions. For the first pillar – BES, the following are the main aspects 88 : • Enhance the environmental conditions to achieve sustainability, • Apply environmental legislations and regulations that assure improvement of citizens’ health, • Lower air pollution from vehicles’ exhausts through upgrading public transportation, • Develop potentials and capabilities of solid waste management, • Raise dependence on new and renewable energy sources, and • Increase green area per capita to enhance the quality of life. Part of the planning strategy development for the Upper Egypt-Red Sea axis is to execute a regional plan that aims at establishing a-nuclei (nucleus) and to develop the eastern desert through horizontal axes that connect the Nile Valley with the Red Sea. Manufacturing, mining and tourism are among the economic activities that can be promoted and fostered to attract private and foreign investments and generate job opportunities, with the aim to attract population to this region by the year 2027. In 2014, the Cabinet of Ministers reviewed the regional plan to issue necessary decrees, to mobilise resources, and the machinery for implementing it. In the Strategic Development Plan (SDP) of the southern Egypt mainly, implementation mechanisms have been developed by GOPP. The SDP aims at providing a legal and procedural framework for achieving SD, through: • Assisting the project’s partners in developing an institutional framework for planning and participatory management, and forming partnerships to attract investments as well as ensuring continuity of the implementation process; • Building and developing the capabilities of employees at GOPP and local authorities; • Preparing and publishing guidelines for investments at the city and local community levels; and • Conducting consultations to prepare local plans for local development in light of the SDP 88 .

One of the CES-MED project outcomes will address the SDP and assist in achieving the above said aims, specifically “Build and develop the capabilities of employees at the local authorities”. The GOPP has developed a general strategic plan (GSP) for the development of Southern Egypt, where both governorates (Luxor and the Red Sea) are included. In the GSP, the city of Luxor has three projects: a) Upgrade and develop North Karnak region; b) Develop the Golden Triangle area; and c) Develop the temple area – Esna, whereas the Red Sea Governorate has one project, which is the regional development plan for Raas Hadraba region 88 . Urban Communities Development The MoEnv adopted a strategy to promote green building based on the contemporary trends of Sustainable Environmental Compatible Building (SECB) that encompasses many green features (more details are available in Annex II). The general principles for GB design are: • Fostering a better environment and protecting the planet in general, • Saving energy, water and protecting other natural resources, • Achieving sustainability in buildings to support economy, • Using materials that have less negative impact on the environment through production, use, maintenance or disposal, and • Disposing of waste in a manner that doesn’t produce negative impacts on the environment and waste treatment to protect the ecosystem 89 . Thus, promoting sustainable building and rationalising construction methods, besides reducing energy consumption are the pillars upon which sustainable development can be realized for this sector with the support of the society. Part of the strategy actions indicates: • Buildings must be compatible with the surrounding environment, based on sustainability; and • Adopt and use of modern technologies and the possibility of energy transfer and advanced building material sources. Various stakeholders (e.g., architects, engineers, and planners) now face the challenge of selecting and updating developed technologies in a way that has a lower adverse effect on the environment and at the same time providing the comfort parameters needed inside buildings. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has developed strategic plans and technical support in the Urban Planning and Building sectors. This technical support resulted from a seamless collaboration between the Government of Egypt (GoEG) and the UNDP. The following section highlights these strategic plans in different areas90: a. Strategic Urban Planning Strategic Development Plan (SDP) of Southern Egypt (New Valley). The SDP started in 2002 and completed in 2017. The leading Egyptian partner is GOPP. Participatory Strategic Urban Planning for Alexandria City till 2032. The SDP started in 2009 and completed in 2015. The leading Egyptian partners are GOPP and MoHUUD. Participatory Strategic Planning for Balanced Spatial Development. The SDP started in 2009 and completed in 2014. The leading Egyptian partner is GOPP. Strategic Development Plan for Greater Cairo Region 2050. The SDP started in 2007 and completed in 2014. The leading Egyptian partners are GOPP and UN-Habitat. b. Technical Support Technical Support to MoLD to aid in enhancing the Local Development. The technical support started in 2007 and completed in 2014. The leading Egyptian partner is MoLD.
