In general, urbanization in less developed countries is often characterized as growth without development. In other words, urban growth is not accompanied by economic prosperity. Development may be brought about by technical progress, the spread of technology, capital accumulation, improved education, training of the labor force and improvement of market organization. Recently, considerable attention has been given to the population issue and migration and mobility components of such models has given rise to the issue of urban settlement system planning. As a matter of fact, there are many scholars who have investigated the interaction model as to whether their dealing was direct or indirect (e.g. Mueller, 7, Isard, 20, Wilson, 32 and 3, etc.). However, the main questions facing decision-makers in Cairo are related to its population growth and its relevant impacts. The fact is that the land required for housing, services, social and technical infrastructure, etc. will increase as the population and number of economic activities rise. This paper focuses on the Egyptian urban governorates in order to identify the effects of socio-economic factors on the Cairo Metropolitan Area (CMA) through the new treatment of the gravity model. This model is called the Mobility Interaction Model (MIM).
