Abstract
This is a study about housing degra&tion. It is a study pertaining to the pattern in which housing depreciate and residential districts turn to slums. In Egypt, urban housing is the most serious multi- dimensional problem challenges the nation. Housing in Egypt is delivered through “govcrnmental” sector, formal private sector, and informal private sector. All these forms of housing dclivcrv arc heavily influenced by numerous factors that contribute to the excessive degradation of the ovcrall environmental tandards. Further, there is ongoing process of housing dilapidation and residential cnvirOniflcIIt degradation taking place in old urban centers and inner cities. Enhancing the factual knowledge of this degradation process will lead to imply, recommend, and consequently, design appropriate policies to arrest housing decline and upgrade the existing housing conditions to acceptable standards.

Therefore, more sincere efforts have to be devoted to prevent this from happening. id. all the attention now is directed to trace and analyze the problems of informal housing, the severe rlagc in housing supply and how to cope with the rampant urban growth. Unfortunately, the problem sidcntia1 degradation has not been paid the adequate attention from either researchers or policy tivcs. Thus, new researches have to be channeled towards this direction. This study is consisted of 7 chapters. An introduction to the research is presented in chapter one 1C theoretical and practical elements of major themes pertinent to the study are discussed and csearch’s problem, scope and significance are addressed hroughout this chapter.
