EGYPT URBAN FUTURES (EUF) is a workshop series, jointly organised by CEDEJ, GIZ and UN-Habitat, which aims to promote dialogue between the public and private sector, civil society, development organisations and academia. EUF provides a platform to exchange experiences and opinions on issues concerning urban development for all stakeholders engaged in the field.

The third workshop was held on 29^th of April 2014 and tackled the topic of urban equity, where the current condition of Egyptian cities from a legal perspective was discussed.. Furthermore, the event attempted at bridging the gap between the global discourses on urbanism and the local ones. It was divided into three sessions: a) Urban equity in the Egyptian context & Debriefing on the 7^th World Urban Forum; b) The Rights AND the City; Government Perspective; and c) The Right TO the City; Civil Perspective. The speakers hosted by the workshop represented international organisations, academia, government officials and civil society activists and professionals. Around 110 participants from diverse academic, professional and other civil society groups attended the EUF.

In the opening session Roman Stadnicki, CEDEJ, illustrated a paradox. On one hand, the claim for more rights has triggered the 2011 Revolution; there are more and more civil society organizations involved in urban rights issues, such as the Habitation constitution process which was prepared by eight NGO’s. On the other hand, the political transition had not totally eliminated repression and authoritarianism. This is somehow proven in the recent and huge demolition of many buildings in the informal areas of Dar el Salam and Manshiet Nasser. Nevertheless, Stadnicki invited the audience to try to go beyond this dichotomist and maybe simplistic vision. He added that it would be of interest to get back to the legal resources that are related to urban development in Egypt (How are city governance and urban authorities regulated by legislation?); and then to understand why civil society took hold of the question of the “right to the city” to legitimate its action in cities. At the end of his speech, he emphasized on the urgency to clarify the positions of the different stakeholders in regards to urban rights issues in order to promote the co-construction of a new legislative framework for the urban development. The latter would represent the interests of everybody.
