Abstract EN
-The Nile is the backbone of urban development in Egypt.
Besides, it plays an essential role in the urban development of the Greater Cairo.
Unfortunately, regional threats have arisen recently from the upstream states where the Nile flows.
The individual plans of these states to establish projects on the Nile without coordination with downstream states will result in catastrophic consequences.
Many research works have been undertaken to identify the impacts of such projects.
They have mainly focused on the future availability of water, the impacts on hydroelectric power and the socioeconomic consequences.
Despite its importance, no research work highlights the impacts on the urban development in Egypt.
Therefore, this research addresses the important question of how the Greater Cairo Metropolitan Core will be affected by the Nile crisis.
Specifically, it discusses the effect of the current crisis on the waterfront in Greater Cairo.
It predicts the impacts that can be expected as a result of the various scenarios of the crisis.
Putting aside any political issues, this paper highlights the future of urban development in the Greater Cairo and its ability to thrive in the era of a Nile water crisis that seems likely to persist for a long time.
