Guidelines for Brownfield Redevelopment Reuse, Case Study of Ramses Zone, Cairo, Egypt

Abstract

Heavy industrial decline throughout the past century left a large number of sites in inner cities empty and derelict. A large number of sites were left in inner cities abandoned and empty due to heavy industrial decline through the past 100 years. As such industrial sites were no longer required within the cities but rather close to ports and direct roads, the need for such active industrial sites has diminished. Therefore, a need for urban rejuvenation processes to remediate these neglected sites that remain after decades unused and with them remain unused potential. Recently, independent projects attempt to utilize those potentials through a bottom-up approach.
