I Dedicate This Thesis to My Father, Who Has Taught Me That Diligence and Perseverance Are the Keys to Success
The Streets of Cairo and the Battle for Public Space Fady S. El-Sadek Thesis IDBE, Cohort 15 University of Cambridge May 2011 I dedicate this thesis to my father, who has taught me that diligence and perseverance are the keys to success. Also to the people of Egypt, who continue to prove that even the most difficult of circumstances can be turned into a goldmine of opportunities. Forward This thesis was started in September 2009 with the aim of articulating numerous problems inherent in the Cairo governments’ urban planning and development. These problems were evident in the city’s deteriorating qualities of life, paralleled by a lack of public space. The writing of this thesis was nearly complete at the onset of the people’s uprising against the Egyptian government’s neglect and abuse of its citizens. On January 25 2011, after mass collaboration on the internet, protestors gathered in the largest public space in the center of Cairo; Tahrir Square. As the protests grew in intensity, the incumbent government disconnected the nation’s mobile telephone network and internet access in an attempt to weaken public organization within the virtual public sphere. The efforts, however, were in vain as the people had already taken to the streets. Over a million people gathered in the square and aired their grievances and demands during 18 days of continuous protests that started peacefully, but turned violent when the government attempted to quell the protestors by force. Aided by the continuous media coverage of Tahrir Square, the movement managed to topple the government, and the president was forced to step down on February 11, 2011.
