Abstract

This study discusses challenges facing the expansion of urban agriculture in Egypt, investigates overcoming these challenges using smart solutions, and proposes a framework to integrate smart urban agriculture (SUA) into Egyptian cities’ plans. The proposed framework provides an insight into the aspects that should be considered before, during, and after transformation to SUA. This study could serve as a basis for the integration of smart agriculture into urban planning theories and practices, and as an inspiration for urban planners, designers, landscape architects, policymakers, and decision-makers to create strategies for promoting digital transformation in Egyptian cities.
