Assessing the resettlement of 48,000 Egyptian Nubians in connection with the High Dam is especially important for three main reasons: firstly, this resettlement process is one of the rare cases in which research begun before the dam was built has continued for over forty years. Secondly, the resettlement of the Egyptian Nubian people is one of the few cases in which the living standards of the large majority improved because of the initial political will of the government, combined with Nubian initiatives. Thirdly, given the complexity of the resettlement process, weaknesses in government planning, implementation, and in the weakening of government political provide valuable lessons for future dam-induced resettlement efforts.SpringerBriefs on Case Studies of Sustainable Development,2196-7830Sustainable developmentEconomic geographyEnvironmental managementHuman geographySustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Economic Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000Environmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Human Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000Sustainable development.Economic geography.Environmental management.Human geography.Sustainable Development.Economic Geography.Environmental Management.Human Geography.627.8Scudder Thayerauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut79916MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254126203321Aswan High Dam Resettlement of Egyptian Nubians2511335UNINA
