Abstract
Summary
This dissertation provides a result based analysis for the urban development management to enable progress towards inclusive on the ground results. This is achieved through the qualitative case study analysis of the urban management system in Egypt aiming for improved city prosperity. The dissertation accordingly assesses the ability of existing institutional, financing and regulatory frameworks governing the urban sector in Egypt to achieve prosperous development objectives.
The in-depth analysis of the housing sector is studied in more details; questioning whether the low-income housing production is achieving the aspired results and responding to the demand on low income housing.
The study consists of two main parts; the first part includes the literature review and analytical framework, and the second part combines the analysis of the case study, in-depth case study and the conclusions and recommendations.
Chapter one provides the research framework and design, including the subject significance, main problem and key theoretical and practical research questions, and the resulting research objectives. The chapter furthermore explains the main research methodology, setting, structure, variables and data collection methods.
Chapter two introduces the literature review with a review on the different prosperity notions, with focus on the selected City Prosperity Index as the framework for the indicators that are used in the analysis of the case study.
Chapter three then presents the initiation and definition of the Urban Management approach within the global urbanization era. The chapter brings focus to the main elements of Urban Management in both the actors and processes categories. Additionally, chapter three explains the emerging concept of Result-Based Management and the theory of change, which offers the conceptual analytical framework for the research.

Chapter four concludes the theoretical and conceptual linkages providing the guiding basis for the case study analysis. This chapter additionally base on the provided literature review to present a new analytical tool that indicates the efficiency of an urban management system and furthermore, introduces the case study selection.
Part two begins with chapter five, which introduces the Egyptian case study. This chapter utilises the analytical framework designed in the first part of the study to analyse the Urban Management system in Egypt and its ability to achieve improvements in the various indicators of the City Prosperity.

The developed analytical tool is then applied on the Egyptian housing sector management to provide graphical indication and reflection of analysis results.
Finally, chapter seven of the research combines the application of the concluded analysis results. This is offered in the form of theoretical recommendations supporting Monetarism theories which focus on government role to bridge the gap between social goals and market operation.
Additionally, application of the research conclusions are reflected in a formulated structural framework for the Egyptian Urban Management system to enable an incremental change towards a more effective role of the government. Furthermore, comprehensive result-based framework for the Egyptian National Housing Programs is presented, incorporating various conclusions from the literature review and analysis. The chapter then presents final respond on the main research questions, and recommendation for future research.
