The role of government in housing in developing countries: The case of Egypt

Abstract

dc:description

This dissertation is a theoretical and empirical analysis of housing problems and policies in less developed countries using Egypt as a case study. It evaluates the Burns and Grebler model that associates levels of housing investments to level of economic development, levels of urbanization, and natural population growth. The dissertation presents an improved model of housing investments in a developing country by adding international and other domestic variables to the analysis. The study attempts to describe the current condition of the Egyptian housing market and applied policies, and tries to show how international, domestic, and institutional factors affected the formulation of Egypt's housing policies.
