Le quartier des chiffonniers de Manshiat Nasser au Caire
L’existence de communautés pauvres habitant dans des quartiers spontanés révèle bien la montée des disparités socio-économiques depuis les années 1970 suite à la politique économique libérale (Infitah) et au programme des années 1990 dit d’ajustement structurel impulsé par le FMI. Un exemple typique de ces poches de pauvreté est le quartier Manshiet Nasser qui inclut le secteur du Muqattam connu pour être habité par les chiffonniers du Caire. Le …
Reclaiming Cairo's downtown district
This paper examines the contested spatiality within Cairo's European Quarter in relation to various heritage inventories, official urban conservation approaches, real estate activities and local peoples' interests. It explores restoration and rehabilitation within Cairo's downtown which involved pedestrianisation of public spaces and architectural conservation and adaptive reuse of belle-époque buildings. Informal discussions and in-depth intervi…
Bloggers' street movement and the right to the city. (Re)claiming Cairo's real and virtual “spaces of freedom”
Faced with formidable challenges to expression in Cairo's public spaces, urban blogger activists have developed new ways of articulating dissent, namely spatial tactics ranging from boycott campaigns, cyber-activism and protest art, to innovations in mobilization, means of communication and organizational flexibility. This is particularly evident in the way these activists have (re)claimed Cairo's contested public spaces in downtown Unions Street…
Greater Cairo’s housing crisis
The urban incubator
This paper provides an imaginary navigation with the camera’s eye to grasp the psychogeography of post-modern urban spatial fragments, whilst considering the proliferation and fragmentation in production and consumption of phantasmagoric other (‘unconscious’ and ‘hidden’) urban spaces. Through an 'imaginary' Urban Incubator, the paper proposes a (de)(re)constructive reading of a conflation of real cities under space-time compression, mapped into …
Cairo's Zabaleen garbage recyclers
The impact of privatization of solid waste management on the Zabaleen garbage collectors of Cairo
The impact of privatization of solid waste management on the Zabaleen garbage collectors of Cairo
This paper investigates the recently launched privatization of local solid waste management in Cairo, focusing on its adverse effects on the economy and on the urban settlement system of the Zabaleen garbage collectors’ communities. According to the official development strategy, the privatization of solid waste services is fundamental to overall government plans for the rehabilitation of areas of historical Cairo. But the objectives of the rehab…
Reviving historical Cairo through pedestrianisation
The al-Azhar Street axis was a major traffic route through and into Old Cairo. Now that a tunnel has been constructed to take through traffic it has been proposed that the street should be pedestrianised along with adjacent squares. The pedestrianisation scheme is assessed in terms of the views of various stakeholder groups including residents, merchants and planners. An alternative, less drastic pedestrianisation scheme is suggested, one that wo…
