Auteurs : Fanchette SDate 1990 Janvier-Mars, Vol 31, Num 121, pp 29-56Revue : Revue tiers-mondeType de publication : article de périodique;Résumé
The process of increasing population density in the Nile Delta region of Egypt and its implications are analyzed. The author concludes that increased population growth in the already highly populated Delta region has only been possible because of the area's change from predominantly rural to increasingly urban in nature. The various policy initiatives that have been taken in response to the Delta region's growing population and socioeconomic development needs are reviewed.
