Greater Cairo Planning Commission
The Greater Cairo Planning Commission or GCPC was a planning body for Cairo, Egypt, which was created in 1965.[1][2]
It was superseded by the General Organization for Physical Planning (GOPP).[3] The commission was approved by Presidential Decree No. 1093 of 1973.[4][5][6]
It has been said the body has often set unrealistic goals such as to "halve the population of a city".[3] This government body answers to The Supreme Council for Planning and Urban Development (SCPUD).[7]
Mainly the GOPP works with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).[8]
The work of the GOPP and all things related to Cairo's urbanization and problems of inequality is the focus of Tadamun, a project by the American University, in Washington DC.[9]
