In 2021, the Egyptian urban planner Dr. Mohamed Fathy Abd Elsalam has coined the scientific term “hyper urban planning” in an article which entitled "breaking through the classical determinants in the field of hyper urban planning". This article has been published in Construction Innovation: Information, Process, Management, which is widely considered one of the international leading journals in the field of construction and urban planning. Moreover, hyper urban planning could be considered a specialized urban branch of advanced level, concerned with studying and analyzing extraordinary ambitious urban proposals, which far exceed the usual characteristics, features, capabilities, spatial sizes, heights, economical cost, limits, barriers, or edges of the traditional urban planning. The previously mentioned “far excess” could be accomplished by mixing some means, tools, components, or methods, such as science, high technology, enormous megastructures, massive infrastructure, mobility, flexibility, unusual or additional extraordinary dimensions, unprecedented horizons, fantastic spatial forms, high imaginative attributes, developing unprecedented places (like ocean bottom), massive climate control, some kind of gravity control, super smart magnetism and different kinds of energy. Of course, some of the mentioned features in the proposed preliminary definition are still in conceptual and experimental phases, but the future technological mutations may move them to the practical and feasible phases in the near future, which in turn may have very positive reflections on the development of lands in the future decades (Abd Elsalam, 2021).
