The 2011 revolution has opened a path for a specific form of activism which has focused mainly on urban territory. The Egyptian urban activism pleads for dropping out the rational urban planification’s mechanisms and condemns the way the government and the international development agencies have based their practices and actions on the private companies models. Going back to the neo liberal politics outlined by Mubarak which failed to reduce urban poverty, the large-scaled projects initiated by Sisi has cut down the progress that has been observed since the revolution in the field of urbanism and urban developemnt.
