Abstract
The study concludes a trial to gain access for a future regional urban planning in Upper Egypt, stemming from a comprehensive analysis of available capabilities, limitations, problems, and future needs, with regard to the circumstances of different environmental and regional linkage among them. Accordingly, the research suggests a future vision for the regional urban network. This vision is represented in the classification of city sizes, and its distribution according to its influence circles. The research aims to transfer the traditional villages to urban villages, and neglect hamlets, and ranches which are scattered heavily on agricultural land.
