Abstract
This thesis, "Urban Agriculture as a Multifunctional Solution to Urbanization Challenges: The Case Study of El-Sherouk City in Cairo Metropolitan Area (Egypt)," explores how urban agriculture (UA) can help address the complex challenges brought about by Egypt's rapid urbanization. Using El-Sherouk City—one of the new cities in the Greater Cairo Region—as a case study, the research investigates the practical applications and expected benefits of integrating UA into urban development strategies. The Key areas covered by this thesis include the context of the problem in Cairo, and it tries to identify critical issues such as food and water insecurity, environmental degradation, economic challenges, and the need and importance of enhancing community involvement.
