inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory,
integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in
all countries» is essential.
This paper explains how to apply GIS techniques, remote sensing and
census data to measure one of the indicators of this target which is the
indicator is 11.3.1 “United Nations, 2015” : ratio between the land use
consumption rate and population growth rate (LCRPGR) on three cities with
different criteria in Egypt as a case study, Cairo city as an urban city , Zakazek
as a rural city in lower Egypt, and New Cairo city as a new developed
settlement. This indicator monitors the relation between land consumption
and population growth to inform and enable decision-makers to track and
manage urban growth and enhances their ability to promote land use
efficiency.

2. Methodology
2.1. Concepts and Definitions
- TARGET 11.3: By 2030, enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanization
and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human
settlement planning and management in all countries.
- Indicator 11.3.1: RATIO OF LAND CONSUMPTION RATE TO
POPULATION GROWTH RATE, Indicator category: Tier II
- Tier II: meaning the indicator is conceptually clear and an established
methodology exists but data on many countries is not yet available.
- Land consumption Rate (LCR): the annual rate at which cities uptake
land for urbanized uses (both built-up and open space demands)
- Population growth rate (PGR): the increase of a population in a given
area during a period, usually, 5 to 10 year intervals.

2.2. Study Area
According to metadata information provided by the UN System for 11.3.1
indicator; use the area of reference at the level of the built-up area of the urban
agglomeration and should not be as a conurbation of two or more urban areas
that are in close proximity.
Egypt has 27 Governorates, four governorates are urban and the rest are
rural governorates, In this study I choose the capital of Egypt; Cairo city as an
urban, Zakazek city in lower Egypt, Menia city in upper Egypt and New Cairo
city as a new development one, see figure (1).
