Thus it is beneficial for the existing cities to see new urban settlement as part of the their process for improvement .This paper is interested to encouraging private sector capabilities in improving and managing new urban communities establishment parallel to government efforts. The establishment of this relation adds another argument for the necessity of having a national policy for new urban communities management and growth .
