The absence of Egypt’s adoption of clear urban policies has exacerbated urban development issues, including urban poverty. Drawbacks witnessed during the implementation of such policies emphasized the inevitability of their assessment within what Egypt is currently adopting as part of its national urban policy preparations. The research overviews the various aspects related to this issue based on analytical and descriptive methods to evaluate the Egyptian and selected worldwide experiences in this field, according to a set of principles and criteria that contribute to drawing conclusions to deal with the repercussions of this phenomenon and its impact on urban and economic dimensions, etc., In order to formulate basic considerations for the formulation of Egypt's urban development policies to deal with urban poverty, to ensure the formulation of adaptive mechanisms and urban governance. Future research in this article will examine how to achieve coordination and complementarity among the concerned organizations in the formulation of urban policies in order to overcome the constraints related to the implementation and implementation of policies. One of the most important innovations in this area is the initiation of work on the formulation of urban policies on specific development issues such as urban poverty... and other issues and challenges facing Egypt's urban development.
