The paper also assumes that Egypt's initial conditions at midcentury compared favorably with the winners in the development race at the end of the century.

    The increased density and sprawl of
    Cairo's urban areas are the consequence of a number of
    factors, of which the major ones are the physical and
    geographic features, transport supply, urban policy and the
    control of urban development, market laws, government aid,
    property developers, consumer sensitivity to building
    quality and costs, travelling distances, tariffs, the
    immediate surrounding area, etc. The purpose of this study

    The rural economy of developing
    countries has long been regarded as synonymous with
    agriculture but in recent years this view has begun to
    change. Such diverse activities as government, commerce, and
    services are now seen as providing most income in rural
    households. Applying decomposition analysis to two new
    nationally representative sets of household data from Egypt
    and Jordan, the author examines how different sources of

    The intensive development of tourism in
    the Gulf of Aqaba presents both an opportunity and a dilemma
    for Egypt. Intensive tourism, if left unmanaged, can inflict
    irreversible damage on coral reef and desert ecosystems and
    curtail the area's economic potential. Together with
    current projections for a rapid expansion of the tourism
    base in the Aqaba coast, degradation from mounting
    recreational activities give rise to serious concerns about

    The report proposes key elements for an
    agricultural export-oriented strategy in Egypt, that would
    build on the achievements of the agricultural strategy
    during the 1990s. Substantial improvements in the
    country's macroeconomic environment, following policy
    reforms - though necessary - have not been sufficient to
    improve agricultural export performance. Overall, while
    Egyptian agricultural production increased during the 90s,

    This development policy review finds
    ample evidence that Egypt has prospered as a consequence of
    giving the economy a greater market orientation. While
    favorable global conditions have helped, the structural
    changes over the last two decades have been an essential
    ingredient for Egypt's success. Productivity has risen
    more in segments of the economy where the private sector s
    share in investment and output grew most. Empirical
