AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN HISTORIC CAIRO: CASE STUDY OF AL DARB AL AHMAR AREA
Mustafa Nagy Elsherif;
Abstract
Summary:
Al Darb Al Ahmar district is suffering from population decrease due to low life
quality and bad building conditions. Whether these bad building conditions are
intentionally done to sell and demolish the building or not, they eventually lead to
a sort of social instability in the district. Hence, this research studies the hypothesis
that providing affordable housing should help stabilize the society through meeting
its needs while fitting within the surrounding context.
The research finally reaches a housing strategy as well as an affordable housing
prototype to be repeated in different land types. The research then recommends
further development that should help in the rehabilitation process.
