Spontaneous cities are not fully recognized by concerned authorities in Egypt. 
However, spontaneous cities need to expand quickly in Egypt, and they are 
addressed regularly in a manner that would ensure sustainability. Also, there is a 
need to strengthen further studies that should be conducted on spontaneous cities‘ 
common characteristics as utopian cities. This paper seeks to investigate what 
spontaneous cities are? It also investigates spontaneous cities‘ role in introducing 
inspiring plans for renovating the new Egyptian cities, to be liveable cities for a 
better future. This paper adopts a descriptive-analytic methodology in assessing the 
feasibility of spontaneous cities in several phases, including focusing on studying 
examples of Egyptian spontaneous cities, namely Abu-Simbel, Sheikh-Zuweid, and 
Kharja Oasis. The study ends with the need to consider rapid urbanization as a goal 
for spontaneous cities‘ residents. Spontaneous cities‘ residents can do even more by 
retaining social connections, which support human experience of urban growth for 
their sustainability. The importance of this study is represented in giving certain hints 
to find a way to avoid the demographic changes that make Egyptian cities antiutopian and discourage utopian urbanizatio.
