This webinar explores the relationship between neoliberalism, politics, and water infrastructure in informal areas in Egypt. It explores the extent to which reforms within Egypt’s potable water sector have impacted access to water in informal areas, and uses this to understand the political role played by infrastructure in Egypt, and particularly how it mediates between citizens and the state.
