The Egyptian revolution has brought to
the forefront the need to focus on job opportunities;
transparency and accountability; a fair and competitive
environment; as well as equal access to finance, land, and
housing-especially for underserved segments of society.
Although the government of Egypt embarked on a macroeconomic
and structural reform program in 2004, economic and social
progress could not keep pace with the aspirations of many
Egyptians, and spatial welfare disparities remained
unchanged-contributing to the social discontent leading to
the revolution. The housing sector tends to be a large part
of the economy in most countries. It is a major factor in
creating stable societies and a key indicator for social well-being.
