repellent governorates


Explanation:
In order to face informal areas, the speaker stated the following steps to be taken by the Governorate of Cairo:

1. Face first-degree risk areas with removal.
2. Develop the main utilities in unplanned areas.
3. Create job opportunities through vocational training by working with NGO’s and other civil society members.
4. Encourage investments in repellent governorates. This was considered by the governor as the most important action because it would discourage people from immigrating to Cairo.

The speaker continued his presentation by focusing on the problem of informal areas. He defined informal areas as the areas deprived from utilities and main services. These areas had an unplanned construction texture and contained unlicensed housing. Cairo has been the host of the greatest number of informal areas in Egypt. In fact, Cairo contained 111 informal areas, which represented approximately half of the governorate.

Informal areas could be divided into two categories: unsafe areas and unplanned areas. On the one hand, in unsafe areas, there were risks of living for the residents. On the other hand, unplanned areas were strong in terms of their structure, but were established in an unplanned manner. There were 48 unplanned areas in Cairo.

The governor strongly believed that the differences between the citizens in Egypt would lead to ‘social instability’. In addition, he clarified that the city attraction plus the repellent state of the governorates led to the establishment of informal areas.

neutral  Abdallah Ali: I can't imagine a native speaker of English would use "repellent" like this.
