GIS has significantly supported sustainable urban development in Egypt through the Atlas of Sustainable Egyptian Cities by providing a comprehensive database of environmental, social, and economic indicators. It enables policymakers to assess the impacts of climate change, optimize service distribution, and plan projects more efficiently, ensuring fairness and improved decision-making.
"The Atlas of Sustainable Egyptian Cities" is a collaborative effort that strengthens national capacities and links economic, social, and environmental aspects. It highlights Egypt's commitment to sustainable urban development and climate resilience, with a focus on governance and the balanced use of natural resources.
I've enjoyed collaborating with Esri NA over many years. Their support for GIS students and GIS education is unparalleled. This Collaboration has allowed our students at the Civil Engineering Program to benefit from the most up-to-date geospatial analysis tools & technologies which greatly enriched our curriculum.
The Atlas of Egyptian Cities showcases Egypt's commitment to sustainable urban development and climate resilience. This initiative builds on the Sustainable Egyptian Cities Initiative, which emphasizes collaborative governance.
The Egyptian Government considers GIS crucial for informed decision making in all ministries and municipalities, and in compliance with Egypt's 2030 vision & digital transformation.
