“…The concept of 4th Generation Cities is used to distinguish current efforts at sustainable development from previous ones. Thus sustainable development strategies rest on the guiding principle that every city will have a sustainable design that provides high living standards for its residents (Hussein & Pollock, 2019). Inherently policy strategies value quality of life factors simultaneously with sustainable infrastructures.…”

“…By 2027, Cairo is expected to have a population of 24 million people which would make it the largest city in the Middle East and one of the largest cities on the African continent (Hussein & Pollock, 2019). With an increase in population size come problems such as air and noise pollution and diminished carrying capacity in terms of infrastructure and services (World Bank, 2013).…”

Essentially, sustainable urbanization is a political choice. Following this proposition, this paper seeks to critically assess the policy-institutional framework that is established or being proposed to shape the urban agenda in the Caribbean. Locating the research activity within a sample of countries in the region, desk analysis of the policies and legislation corresponding to urbanization in these countries is undertaken, complemented by lesson-drawing from case studies of international experience to determine the efficacy of the region’s policy-institutional framework and the extent to which it mirrors international norms. Preliminary findings suggest that sustainable urbanization remains a concept in the Caribbean as policies and legislation either predate ideas of urban sustainability, or do not target sustainability challenges adequately. The paper is part of a larger research project on sustainable urbanization in the Caribbean and therefore is intended to initiate debate and further research towards production of policy relevant information in this area of study.

“…Usually, emerging and developing countries seek to apply New Smart City (NSC) strategies such as Cyberport Hong Kong (China), Songdo International Business District (South Korea), Cyberjaya (Malaysia), and Skolkovo Innovation Center (Russia) (Angelidou, 2014). Besides, NAC (Egypt) (Hussein & Pollock, 2019; Hamza, 2016; Hassanein, 2017), with other 14 new smart cities will mention in the case study part in the rest of the study.…”

“…Therefore the current Egyptian administration sought to expand the urban development land. One of these megaprojects is constructing 14 new smart cities, progressing its infrastructure, and supporting a steady investment environment (Hussein & Pollock, 2019). Egypt strategy 2030 has launched in 2015, resulting from review studies and sectoral strategies visions at the international and domestic levels, including the urban plan 2052.…”

Funding information Pécsi TudományegyetemSmart city policy has been employed through the last two decades to accommodate the urban modifications, which utilize information technology, innovation, and smart management for urban governance. The study aims to discuss the case study for the Egyptian condition's smart city model and policy, using policy narrative analysis for the fourth-generation cities and the pioneer model. From a policy perspective, the Egyptian smart city model's contribution has received little attention from previous studies dealing with the smart city in the Egyptian context. Therefore, the present research explores presenting and discuss the Egyptian smart city model as an innovation development policy perspective. The analysis employs The new administrative capital as a case study.The policy documents and the online interview with Administrative Capital for Urban Development Company officials have been used. Our findings found that the NAC might be the successful path for the smart city model inside the Egyptian context, considering some implementation policy recommendations. The NAC's innovative components deem a prompt to invigorate the regional and national levels' innovation process.The Egyptian case study's smart city model uses a holistic strategy with a quadruple helix to develop the urban system to attract knowledge and innovation.

“…The overall question as to whether the BRI is a win for member nations is mainly to the opportunity cost of the projects. In Egypt for example, some opinions are against the concept of constructing a new Administrative Capital because the massive cost led to Egyptian citizens suffering from austerity measures, although others see it as a necessary solution for developing the country's infrastructure and attracting investors (Hussein & Pollock, 2019).…”

China Belt and Road Initiative: Give-and-Take of Infrastructure Development in the North Africa Subregion

It is not a secret that Africa is richly endowed with raw materials, which has raised the stakes for foreign interests. The amplification of these riches has created a sense of urgency in developed nations to enter partnerships to have access to the resources. North Africa, though more advance than its sub-Saharan neighbors falls in the essential corridor of the Belt and Roads Initiative (BRI); and thus, requires infrastructure improvement to meet the overall BRI agenda. This yearning for infrastructure development in Africa has generally been met by China’s search for natural resources. The BRI is that infrastructure investment platform that allows for connectivity between member nations. This semi-systematic literature review identifies and appraises relevant research and collects and analyzes data about the impact of BRI on development in this subregion. Even though the BRI has shown some evidence of constructive growth in infrastructure connectivity, the opaque nature of the engagements has been the subject of harsh criticism; with some critics describing China’s motive as an attempt to recolonize Africa. Chinese partnerships in Africa have resulted in major investments and credit flows providing the much-needed resources to the BRI member countries to implement the very much needed development schemes, despite the main challenge that remains—sustenance of these extensive projects. The most significant implication of the BRI has been the concern about a possible conflict between China and the US. A key to averting open conflict between China and the US is through an alliance and coordinated response by Europe and the US.
