Historic Waterfront; Revitalization Strategies; Old Cairo; Public Spaces; Urban Connectivity
Summary:
Most of the city’s built environment has been configured in relation to the Nile. The River Nile is a salient geographical feature of North Africa. It is the only river which is able to carry part of the drainage of Equatorial Africa through the barren and rainless Sahara to the Mediterranean Sea. Subsequently, the urban composition has an impact on the socioeconomic and cultural urban aspects.Historically and economically the waterfronts are urban features that could connect efficiently with the rest of city. The research aspires to propose some strategies for urban design scale interventions that could enhance the accessibility and connectivity between Old Cairo and its surrounding.
