Abstract
Due to the intensified globalization, the theory of city branding has emerged, developed and is being applied by existing cities that are fiercely competing to gain advantage and position on the world scene. On the other hand, and according to literature, this theory does not take new developed cities into account. Questions like; How to create and develop a brand for a new city that is still under construction? Who are the entities involved in the process? What are the main components that can help creating, developing and managing a brand for a new city? are posing itself. Evidently, there is an urge for more academic research in this domain regarding developing a model for branding new cities.
While cities are now considering branding strategies as an instrument that can increase their competitive advantage, and as a research domain of a great importance, several articles were published on place/city branding, the academic research on this domain within the Egyptian context is limited.
