Towns and cities in Egypt are growing at an alarming rate, with increasing population and  urbanization rates  that have a significant impact on the natural environment. Green urbanism and  “Green City” has been discussed since the 1990s as an interdisciplinary integrated approach to designing or renewing cities, with consideration for social, economic, and environmental prosperity.

Cross-sector partnerships are found to be critical in achieving sustainability and implementing green urbanism principles, especially in a complex context like Egypt. This project’s main goal is to support the knowledge transfer between the high educational institutions and the green urban businesses in the field of “the Green Cities”.

In addition to our German business partners, the project in is incorporation with Egyptian green business partners that work in different urban contexts in Egypt; tribal community, rural community, and new cities closer to a tribal community, but which all focus on empowering women in the local community through the green economy
