Since the 20th century and so far, the rates of the population growth have remarkably increased in Egypt in number and in terms of the populated land, which led to the need for good suitable land for construction to meet the increasing requirements of the increasing size of the population. Therefore, the process of urban intensification appeared as a result of the accelerating population growth rates (natural increase migration) in urban areas than in rural areas and the resulting increase in constructional growth rate with limited local resources in an attempt to maintain agricultural lands, as well as to overcome the scarcity of land suitable for construction and meet the needs for housing, services, activities, and infrastructure. The automatic emergence of urban intensification by the population, which appears in the infringements whether in building illegal floors or horizontal expansion and the annexation of balconies and outer spaces such as in the city of Ain Al-Sira Zenhom etc. This indicates how this policy is appropriate to meet the needs of the population regardless of the violation registered later, till the strategic draft plans was issued which mainly aims at identifying urban properties and reduce urban crawling on agricultural land. Thus the study Amis to propose the approach of urban intensification as one of the best solutions to solve the housing problem in the current urban communities in Egypt at the theoretical and analytical level (strategic Plans) and to identify the obstacles that face the implementation of the policy, in addition it seeks to add proposed mechanisms to activate the policy of urban intensification to overcome the negative aspects and obstacles of its implementation. The Paper Methodology: 1The Theoretical Approach: introduce the most important intellectual principles, concepts patterns causes of intensification and how it is appropriate at the political level, planning, developmental, economic and environmental level. 2. The Analytical Approach: Analyze the urban intensification approach presented in the strategic plans to solve the housing problem and to present its role and significance, stages of implementation, requirements for its implementation in time, economically, environmentally and legally, and deducing the most significant negative effects and obstacles of implementation. 3 Setting proposed mechanisms to activate the policy of intensification in the executive reality and to overcome the obstacles of its implementation in aspects for which housing studies were not presented in the strategic plans.
