Egypt’s Building Law Sets Out Urban Planning Council’s Responsibilities

Egypt’s Building Law defines the responsibilities of the Supreme Council for Planning and Urban Development, setting out the remit of the body within the country’s legal framework for planning.

The law stipulates that the council is to exercise a specified set of powers. These provisions establish the legal basis for its responsibilities in planning and urban development.

The available summary introduces the council’s statutory duties but does not include the list of responsibilities that follows in the legislation.

It therefore does not provide enough detail to identify the council’s individual powers or explain how they apply to specific planning decisions.
