المستخلص with the beginning of the third millennium, the Egyptian cities witness many challenges resulting from globalization and the effects of the application of a wide range of global conventions such as free trade agreements ( GATT ) and others, which will lead to an open competition between states and cities with respect to their ability to achieve excellence in an economic or urban activity or a particular service among peers in the rest of the world to enable them attracting foreign investments contributing to the implementation of their comprehensive development programs, thus achieving internal stability. This requires the adoption of an integrated national policy aimed at institutional and infrastructure development. Recent studies show that achieving Comprehensive urban development to all sectors in all cities concurrently requires huge investments to implement, especially in developing countries which suffer from lack of adequate financial resources. Hence, a trend towards encouraging development decentralization has been strongly argued by selecting few cities have competititve advantages that can be developed in short term converting them to competitive cities at the regional or global level, work as both a domestic and international investment magnet. |
