Résumé l
During the past decades, excessive ongoing growth in the economies and demographics around the world has caused many countries to consider the redirection of urban growth to their peripheral regions due to the rapid population increment and limited development opportunities in the core regions. More specifically, some of these countries, have found no promising development substitute other than directing the regional policies to the vast desert areas to lead the way for future developments, as the case in Egypt. Relevantly, Egypt faces many population and spatial constraints in the narrow Nile Valley and Delta that hinders any further development in these core regions. Particularly, this is why Egyptu2019s National Urban Development Plan for 2050 directs the future developments in its desert areas with the conception of a stringent national commitment towards achieving ambitious, dynamic and innovative sustainable development, which aligns with Sustainable Development Strategy in Egyptu2019s vision 2030. This goes in parallel with the global movement towards considering the sustainable development principles in all development fields, including urban and regional planning. Accordingly, this thesis aims to develop a methodological framework for incorporating sustainable development principles in the planning process of strategic plans for desert areas in Egypt
