GROWTH SUMMARY Contrasting to its economic hardships, Minya is a very rich governorate in terms of resources and raw materials. It has rich agricultural lands with great existing and future potential of expanding in the desert. It also has an active limestone and marble mining industry. Consequently, Minya is expected to have a large industrial landscape revolving around such raw materials. Yet, in reality, and while such a scene was once present in the past, the current situation is much different. Many of Minya’s public sector factories have either been privatized or have significantly reduced in size. Interviewees blame several factors such as corruption, economic deterioration or loss of essential crops (such as cotton which used to support a large weaving industry); yet the end result remains that there is a general lack in job supply in the large industrial sector of Minya compared to its potential. New industrial zones have been created yet prior to the 2011 revolution, yet have since then failed to work at their planned potential due to various security and economic difficulties. Especially that some of such industries do not rely on the widely available raw materials in the governorate. This sets farming as the backbone and highest potential economic activity in Minya. But in reality, farming is the least favorable of all possible economic activities among Minya’s inhabitants. Farming is a highly seasonal industry. And with limited governmental support in providing the needed seeds, fertilizers, and insecticides, farming entrepreneurs are forced to buy unsubsidized products which decrease their profits and put them under financial strain. To make matters worse, new farming entrepreneurs bear huge expenses in reclaiming desert lands with limited to no governmental support. In fact, often face difficulties with the government which poses numerous bureaucratic obstacles against them; especially with registering ownership of their desert plots.

  • Bio-Climatic Analysis and Thermal Performance of Upper Egypt “A
    ESL-IC-12-10-48 Bio-Climatic Analysis and Thermal Performance of Upper Egypt “A Case Study Kharga Region” Mervat Hassan Khalil Housing & Building National Research Center, Cairo, Egypt, P. Box 1770 E. mail: marvat.hassan.khalil@gmail .com ABSTRACT As a result of the change and development of Egyptian society, Egyptian government has focused its attention of comprehensive development to various directions. One of these attentions is housing, construction and land reclamation in desert and Upper Egypt. In the recent century the most attentions of the government is the creation of new wadi parallel to Nile wadi in the west desert. Kharga Oasis is 25°26′56″North latitude and 30°32′24″East longitude. This oasis, is the largest of the oases in the westren desert of Egypt. It required the capital of the new wadi (Al Wadi Al Gadeed Government). The climate of this oasis is caricaturized by; aridity, high summer daytime temperature, large diurnal temperature variation, low relative humidity and high solar radiation. In such conditions, man losses his ability to work and to contribute effectively in the development planning due to the high thermal stress affected on him. In designing and planning in this region, it is necessary not only to understand the needs of the people but to create an indoor environment which is suitable for healthy, pleasant, and comfortable to live and work in it. So, efforts have been motivated towards the development of new concepts for building design and urban planning to moderate the rate, direction and magnitudes of heat flow. Also, reduce or if possible eliminate the energy expenditure for environmental control.

    The Suez Canal Economic Zone: An Emerging International Commercial Hub August 2016 marks the one-year anniversary of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s inauguration of the Suez Canal expansion—an $8.6 billion upgrade to the nearly 140-year-old waterway to increase capacity, allow two- way maritime trafc for the frst time, reduce waiting and transit time and create new jobs and revenue. This was accompanied by the establishment of the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) – an innovative and self-sustaining industrial development corridor that will transform 461 square kilometers and six maritime ports strategically located along one of world’s most main trading routes into an international commercial hub. Through an innovative and integrated development strategy that is being implemented today, the SCZone promises to expand Egypt’s competitive economic edge by connecting 1.6 billion consumers across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Gulf and Egypt’s own growing market of 90 million people. Poised to support nearly one million new jobs and two million new residents, the SCZone will transform and modernize Egypt’s economy while creating a new center for global commerce. CUTTING EDGE COMMERCIAL CENTERS The SCZone represents a new chapter for Egypt’s economic progress. With work underway, the project is expected upon completion to create millions of new jobs while ofering Egyptian and foreign investors with top-class infrastructure, market access and streamlined administrative procedures. The regional strategy of the SCZone entails the development of lands, facilities and ports adjacent to and in the proximity of the Canal, mainly in Ain Sokhna, East Port Said, Ismailia and Qantara.
