Despite Egypt leading the world in per capita housing production, millions here find access to adequate housing that is affordable, safe and has proper utilities, a challenge. In this hands-on workshop, participants will be introduced to Egypt's housing policies vis a vis residents’ responses to them, tracing this dichotomy over the past century. With a focus on understanding the diverse housing ecosystem, participants will examine typologies spanning tenure regimes (formal/informalized), social housing programs, commodification and financialization, and the urban-rural divide. Through legislative and data analysis, mapping, and co-production methodologies, this workshop will equip participants with practical skills and theoretical insights to reimagine how housing polices can be more just and realize the right to adequate housing in Egypt.
