- Organizational Setting UN-Habitat, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities. It is the focal point for all urbanization and human settlement matters within the UN system. Introduction The project Strategic Urban Planning for Small Cities was initiated in 2010 between the General Organization for Physical Planning and UNHabitat Egypt Country Programme. The first and second phases of the project took place between 2010 - 2021. Phase I and II implemented strategic urban plans (SUP) for 70 cities located in 13 governorates in Egypt and included technical support to GOPP local units on SUP. The third and final project phase being implemented between 2021-2024 focuses on implementing and updating SUPs for small cities and cities of a special nature (cities with a distinctive geographic location, e.g. cities bordering on coasts or with a distinctive urban character or history...etc). Phase III aims to strengthen the national capacity for sustainable urban development and management, as well as establish improved inclusive urban planning processes and methodologies for the preparation of SUP. Currently, GOPP seeks to align the state’s efforts on achieving Egypt’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Sustainable Development Vision 2030, including achieving social justice and improving the quality of life and urban environment through preparation and updating of impactful urban plans in Egyptian cities. In line with this objective, GOPP works on updating the previously prepared cities’ General Strategic Urban Plans (with reference to law 119 f year 2008), to ensure that the strategies and projects proposed remain effective and respond to the social, economic, environmental and spatial current contexts and challenges. These plans take also into account any changes and national directions in projects and their impact on urban agglomerations, most importantly the New National Urban Policy and new urban upgrading approaches key directions. As such, the GOPP and UN-Habitat are working together to update al-Tor City’s Strategic Urban Plan (SUP) (target year 2045) and promote the City’s unique character and natural resources in accordance with; the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), National Urban Agenda (NUA), Egypt Vision 2030, and results of the Egypt National Urban Policy (NUP), and the regional development plan for South Sinai. This alignment will further complement proposed regional and international projects that may impact the city. The plan shall consider the city’s unique character, to enable the city to fulfill its national and regional roles effectively, provide an improved quality of life for its current and future residents and respond to the city’s local potentials and anticipated population growth. In this context, as a part of updating the SUP for al-Tor City, this task aims to study, analyse and propose priority sector specific projects in coordination with the Regional and Local Economic Development consultant for the investment plan for projects identified with regards to the city’s urban context and associated fields. This will encompass urban surveys, studies, needs assessment and analysis with regards to urban aspects, demographics, social issues, housing, public services, and institutional management. See annex 1 for the comprehensive ToR that includes all sector related deliverables for alignment. The consultant will also coordinate and compile outputs from both the infrastructure consultant as well as the regional and local economic development consultant. Study area: Al-Tor City is the capital of South Sinai Governorate and includes the most significant administrative centers and services in the governorate. It is located in South Sinai approximately 265 km from the Martyr Ahmed Hamdi Tunnel on the Gulf of Suez. The city is surrounded with prominent tourist destinations such as, Dahab, Sharm El-Sheikh, St. Catherine, Ras Sidr and Ras Abu-Rdis cities. Additionally, it is particularly known for its significant historical and touristic character with natural attractions and historical monuments from both the Mamluk and modern era. Moreover, it is known as a medical tourist destination given its many attractions that include Hammam Musa and Ras Raya beaches, which are characterized by their coastal nature. Reporting Line The Consultant will work under the supervision of the UN-Habitat Program Manager and in coordination with the Programme Manager at the General Organization of Physical Planning (GOPP).
