The Built Environment Observatory (BEO) is a web-based portal of open knowledge on Egypt’s built environment.
The BEO covers a range of urban issues with a focus on fair housing, spatial justice, and, access to basic infrastructure such as electricity and water.
We aim to support scholars, communities, civil society, development agencies and officials in their pursuit for the equitable development of the built environment, through the production of knowledge in the form of:
- State of Housing series that offer in-depth analyses of the impact of legislation, policy, and, public spending, on housing and cities
- Laws and legislation explainers and commentaries
- Housing Statistics fact sheets and analysis of key data
- Social Housing commentaries and analysis of projects and strategies
- Commentaries on wider issues of housing and the city
