RE-DISCOVERING MINET EL-BASSAL HISTORICAL INDUSTRIAL AREA
Rana Adel Mohamed Abdel Magid Zein;
Abstract
Industrial heritage is an authentic part of Egypt`s heritage that is often overlooked and forgotten. During the era of the viceroy (Mohamed Ali), Egypt was a pioneer in developing large scale industries especially cotton and textile industry. An industry that was once the milestone of local economy and sustained a big sector of the market labor. However, this industry collapsed by the early 90s owing to the neo-liberalization poli- cies causing a huge set back in local economy. Consequently, many industrial areas fell into disuse. This study focuses on Minet el-Bassal area in Alexandria which is one of those withstanding industrial remnants that is now facing deliberate deterioration and trials to erase its history. The study reveals the serious challenges facing the area and highlights its hidden potentials.
