In 1858, the Universal Suez Canal Company was founded to build a canal connecting the Mediterranean and the Red Sea; in 1956, the Egyptian state proclaimed the nationalization of the company. Between these two dates, this commercial company created and administered major engineering structures, three new cities, and agricultural estates. The economic and social ecology of Egypt's eastern margins was radically transformed. The thirteen contributions brought together in this book seek to understand the reality of the undertaking carried out in the isthmus, through various angles and extensive documentation, with the aim of giving a prominent place to the question of its integration into the Egyptian framework.
