The satellite town, Helena which is 25 kilometers from south of the city, center around substantial industry so as to iron and steel industry.

Eastern suburb of Heliopolis has a cutting edge universal air terminal, the arrangement of Article 30 household and worldwide courses. There are 13 raised railroads, roadway bridges, and three huge walker connects in the city. The extension in the sixth Oct is in excess of 10 kilometer. From the prior, Cairo is a city is the Egyptian focus of financial, transportation and politic. The improvement clear impacts the nation. Today, many creating nations are confronted with issue of urbanization. As the principal open nation in the Arabian world, Cairo assumes a urgent job in urbanization which can't be overlooked. Existing urban arranging systems The general ground breaking strategy which built up in 70s in to make a super agglomeration or poly-atomic City to oblige enormous populace development brought about by country urban relocation. In every individual satellite town, it expected to act naturally adequate which included private, business and amusement improvement so as to diminish the requirement for driving. Ring street, metro and other transportation framework ought to be worked so as to serve extending settlements. In agribusiness angle, it urges improvement to spread toward the east and west of the downtown area, into desert land, to abstain from expanding on important supplement rich arable land in the Nile Delta. In Figure ii, it shows the first proposition of development signal at west and east heading. Shockingly, the all-inclusive strategy has fizzled. The arrangement doesnt have critical impact on the urban turn of events. Its generally in view of naã ¯ve urbanization which didnt consider some fundamental social issues well. To begin with, the end-all strategy secured huge territories; in any case, the infrastructural improvement fell behind. Second, the new satellite town neglected to pull in populace. (Table 1)The objective of populace can't be done and there are insufficient business openings in some of improvement regions. Input from Interview People groups perspectives are constantly considered as the most remarkable proof. Prior to beginning profound research of the venture, a meeting has been taken by M. Shaker in Cairo. In this manner, the general suppositions have been examined and investigated. The meeting is concentrating on their living arrangement history, the area they seek to live in and their assessments about the midtown region. The number of inhabitants in downtown is contracting strongly and the motivation behind why individuals dont need to live in the midtown zone is fundamentally appeared in the pie outline. Nature of living and traffic condition appear to be concerned generally. Additionally, in the bar diagram, it unmistakably demonstrates that working near occupants is the most significant factor for work determination. To summarize it, individuals expected to move out of the midtown for better lodging and living condition. They additionally need the new settlement to give openings for work with the go al that they can work near their habitation. pAs the investigation of meeting data, the primary issues and logical inconsistencies turn out in two viewpoints: one is about the living quality and the lodging status with enormous number of rustic populace, and another is about traffic issues with the advancements of satellite towns. Living Quality The number of inhabitants in Cairo expanded pointedly from 1970 to 5.9 million, up to 8.7 million to 1980. In 1996, it arrives at 14.6 million which is a fourth of this countrys. In any case, Cairos populace is as yet developing at a pace of 0.35 million every year. The populace is excessively huge to huge weight on Cairo. (CAPMAS 1997) Right off the bat, there are the nourishment deficiencies. Cairo devoured half of the complete imports of the nation; any city on the planet can't be analyzed in this point. Import nourishment costs continue rising, despite the fact that the legislature goes through enormous totals of cash for nourishment sponsorships, the outcome isn't satisfying. Also, it caused the inhabitants of Cairo declining way of life. From 1985 to 1989, the general customer cost nearly expanded twofold, and it continues expanding. Third, the huge number of individuals ran into the city cause a genuine lack of provincial work power and joblessness to the residents. In 1961, the national joblessness rate was 4.7%, Cairo joblessness rate was 7.5%. In 1970, the national joblessness rate was 2%, Cairo was 7.6%. Then, the youthful populace is another test in Cairo, According to insights, 1988 the populace matured 0 to 14 represented 40%. The huge number of youngsters will squeeze Cairo social and financial advanc ement later on. What is the purpose behind populace development in Cairo? It has the substantial urban capacity. The thickness of its urban capacities is most elevated in Africa. It stacks half of the business in the nation and it needs to fundamental worldwide and household exchange exercises. Furthermore, it has training organization, for example, Al-Azhar University, Cairo University and American University. As the Governments street development, lodging, water, power and other open offices set in Cairo, which decides the administrations lion's share of ventures are remaining in the zone. Along these lines, it gave generous work openings here, then again, modest communities and rustic territories framework development will be absence of assets. It so that grow the hole among urban and rustic regions. The difference cause rustic youth would prefer not to return home after graduation. In the other hand, fundamentally, there are three kinds of lodging in Cairo: A. Authentic lodging. It was isolated into three kinds: 1. Nations to lease and sell or give lodging to the national staff. 2. Helpful lodging (Cooperative). 3. Private lodging. B. Unlawful development. Since 1960, yearly lodging development represented 70% of urban lodging around 60000 units of lodging every year, is essentially for residents with low pay. C. Ghettos. They are primarily utilized by individuals with most minimal salary and new outsiders. The genuine lodging is getting old and loses their fascination in residents, yet the ghettos are continuing developing and spread a large portion of the urban spots. The Government can't stop the poor to assemble that as the low earnings they have. The Roof room impact shows a lodging lack in Cairo. Today, in the city, the numerous structures left room on the top and those spots are decent spot for poor people. Along these lines, the ghetto and casual settlements became solid impression of some improvement site. These thick groupings of human and monetary action are frequently situated close to plants, trash dumps, or different poisonous exercises where expulsion pressures are moderately low. While ghetto occupants regularly plan, fund, and fabricate their own networks, they don't have the monetary assets to likewise develop fundamental foundation like waste removal and seepage offices. With little help expected from outside the ghettos, these offices are frequently lacking, bringing about corrupted and unfortunate living and poor ecological conditions. Casual lodging and ghetto regions are, as a rule, the wellspring of condition contamination, both above and underground, ghetto and casual networks in the GCMR are commonly found in the created parts of the GCA. (M. EI Araby 2002) The contamination of Cairo is another enormous issue and causes individuals to escape from it. Today, the engine vehicle emanation is significant wellspring of the air contamination. Another source is mechanical outflow. Since a portion of the high thickness of overwhelming industry situated close to the city, the air contamination is extremely perilous to general wellbeing particularly kids. All the individuals are attempting to escape from those mechanical areas. Those show that nature of living in downtown region is downright terrible and in any event, deteriorating; in this way, new settlements were worked for individuals particularly for those can bear the cost of another house and need to have a superior expectation for everyday comforts. A portion of those settlements included working, training and other living foundation; it turned out to be increasingly more independent and part from the city fundamental part. Later on, as satellite towns expanding, the populace will be haul out of the city and scatter to the desert. Transportation issues Traff
