Alexandria City and Governorate Endowments Alexandria City and Governorate endowments: Alexandria is widely acknowledged as one of the most ancient and glorious cities of the world, with a central position in commercial maritime activities in the Mediterranean Sea and numerous outstanding landmarks such as the ancient lighthouse of Pharos—one of the Seven Wonders of the World—and the ancient Alexandria library contributing to its prominence. Even though such treasures have not survived, the Government of Egypt is nonetheless committed to supporting Alexandria’s rediscovery of its rich cultural heritage and economic prominence. The government has worked with many countries to revive the city’s archeological and cultural heritage, including most notably the reconstruction of the new Bibliotheca Alexandrina with the support of UNESCO and many donor countries at the same location of the ancient library. The new library houses some 4 million books, 3 museums, 5 research institutes, several exhibition halls, an advanced conference center with 3,000 seats, and a planetarium. Today, Alexandria is one of the major cities on the Mediterranean Sea, stretching linearly along a coastline of about 70 kilometers to the north and bound by Lake Marioutt to the South. The city of Alexandria, considered as Egypt’s second capital by virtue of its location and population size, houses the large majority of Alexandria Governorate’s estimated 3.7 million inhabitants in 2001 (18.7% live in rural areas). Alexandria Governorate covers an area of 2,819 km2, of which 1,100 km2 are inhabited (these include 775km2 of agricultural lands and the rest—12% of the total area of the Governorate—in urbanized lands). The city of Alexandria has a diversified economic base and a competitive advantage in several economic sectors. With respect to tourism, Alexandria offers a variety of attractions, including important historic and religious landmarks from the Roman, Islamic, Coptic, and Jewish periods. The city and its region, which enjoy a temperate climate year round, feature long sandy beaches, in addition to numerous parks and recreational areas, fairs, cultural events, etc. During summer months, the city receives some 3 million visitors, making it the most popular summer resort for Egyptians. Yet, the number of foreign tourists visiting Alexandria was a mere 309,000 in 2002, which constitutes a critical focus for city planners seeking to expand the city’s tourism potential and thus improve economic prospects for the city’s population. It is recognized that Alexandria needs a strategic plan to promote the city as a tourist destination for foreign visitors, building on its numerous assets and its important tourism infrastructure (hotels, an international airport, a mega seaport, etc) to create an accessible, attractive and inexpensive venue for tourists. Overall, Alexandria plays a key role in the national economy. The port of Alexandria is Egypt’s largest, with 57% of total port capacity in the country, and one of the Mediterranean basin’s major ports. The Government has plans to develop the port to strengthen its ability to compete globally. Alexandria Governorate is also one of the most important industrial bases in Egypt, with several large, well- equipped industrial estates (e.g. Borg El Arab, Merghem, Om Zegheow and El Gharbaneyyat) that give it a dominant position in the manufacturing sector. It is home to 4,417 industrial establishments responsible for 40% of Egypt’s total industrial production and employing 35.8% of the Governorate’s labor force. Alexandria’s main industries are in the chemical and petrochemical sector (272 enterprises); steel, iron and engineering industries (886); construction materials (107); wood products (327); spinning and weaving (1,160); food industries (486); and over 1,100 other manufacturing enterprises. Finally, the availability of different transportation means linking Alexandria to all Egyptian regions (by land, a railway together with an international, regional and ring road network; by sea, Egypt’s largest port; and by air, two international airports) represents one of the city’s key strengths in attracting investment. Challenges and opportunities: Despite its many significant endowments and competitive advantages, and the noteworthy efforts to develop and beautify the city (Alex was awarded the best Arab city prize from the Arab Cities Organization in 2002), Alexandria still faces difficulties in achieving a sustainable development process built around a vision and action plan to improve the standard of living for its citizens, and a local economic development strategy that defines development priorities in the city. Overall, the Governorate leadership defined three challenges as top priorities to be addressed in the city’s future development: I) Squatter Settlements. The city currently has about 48 squatter settlements, with an estimated 1,059,974 inhabitants, representing 30.5% of the total population. Squatter settlements suffer from several problems including high population density,[1] lack of infrastructure and basic services,[2] poor healthcare services,[3] lack of educational facilities, which results in high pupil density in classrooms,[4] and most importantly a high unemployment rate.[5] II) Lake Marioutt: Lake Marioutt lies to the south of Alexandria city, extending to the west until Borg El Arab new city. The lake covers an area of about 74 km2 and is divided into four basins: the Main basin (26km2), the Northwest basin (14.7 km2), the Fishing basin (4.2 km2) and the Southwest basin (29.4 km2). Unfortunately, Lake Marioutt has become over time a repository of industrial, agricultural and sanitary water discharge, and is now the cause of many environmental threats in the city and the delta region generally.[6] The lake nonetheless has a strategic importance at the regional and local level. Indeed, the lake plays an important role in the balance of water in the delta region. Without it and without direct drainage to the sea, the level of water would continue to rise, which would eventually flood wide areas of land. In addition, due to the scarcity of land for new development in Alexandria, Lake Mariout and the surrounding area are now viewed as prime land for urban expansion as well as a significant economic resource for the city. As a result of a public-private partnership, a major commercial center with a large retail establishment (Carrefour) was constructed by the lake and it has rapidly become Alexandria’s most attractive shopping and recreational area. Such pressures for development in the areas surrounding the lake instigate the need for short, medium and long-term plans to ensure the area is developed in a sustainable way and to prevent its deterioration through unplanned growth. III) Lack of a long-term economic development strategy: Several achievements have established Alexandria over the past few years as an Egyptian showcase in regard to public-private partnerships, improved business environment and attracting new investments. Indeed, Alexandria Governorate has recently established a business facilitation center, with funding from the Canadian Agency for International Development to act as a one-stop shop window for investors. The center will be responsible of issuing business licenses in a maximum of 20 days. In addition, a Local Economic Development Department (LEDD) has been established in the Governorate, but it still lacks the technical capacity to develop a medium to long-term economic development strategy as well as exposure to regional and global knowledge in this regard, especially in surrounding industrial/ port cities. Yet, Alexandria faces several challenges to achieve long-term, sustainable economic development, particularly because the city lacks an integrated long term vision based on a sound understanding of its competitiveness (at the national and regional level), potential cluster/business sector growths and investment priorities. Alexandria CDS: The challenges represented by the large population living in squatter settlements with limited access to infrastructure services, the environmental degradation of Lake Marioutt and the lack of a long-term economic development strategy prompted Alexandria Governorate’s leadership to launch a participatory process for the formulation of a long-term City Development Strategy (CDS) for sustainable development in Alexandria. The Governor of Alexandria issued decree No.444-2004 on July 17, 2004, forming the Alexandria CDS team and establishing its roles and responsibilities. The CDS committee is chaired by the Secretary General of Alexandria Governorate, and includes three sub-groups in charge of Local Economic Development, Lake Marioutt Development, and Squatter Settlements Upgrading and Development (See Annex 1 for a list of committee members). The objective of the Alexandria CDS strategy is twofold: Economic: Developing a medium to long-term Local Economic Development (LED) strategy. The strategy would examine and capitalize upon the city’s competitiveness to diversify and specialize the economic base of the city; support productivity and establish an enabling business environment. Specific policy will be designed to create economic development opportunities in low-income areas, including squatter settlements, and the means to finance them. Physical/Environmental: Developing a participatory upgrading strategy for the squatter settlements and Lake Mariout within a sustainable urban development framework. The strategy would include specific measures for improving living conditions

  • Human Impact on Sediment Mass Movement and Submergence of Ancient Sites in the Two Harbours of Alexandria, Egypt
    NORWEGIAN JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY Human impact on sediment mass movement and submergence in Alexandria 337 Human impact on sediment mass movement and submergence of ancient sites in the two harbours of Alexandria, Egypt Jean-Daniel Stanley, Thomas F. Jorstad & Franck Goddio Stanley, J.-D., Jorstad, T.F. & Goddio, F.; Human impact on sediment mass movement and submergence of ancient sites in the two harbours of Alexandria, Egypt. Norwegian Journal of Geology, Vol. 86, pp. 337-350. Trondheim 2006. ISSN 029-196X. Historic records indicate that structures built in and around the two harbours of Alexandria, Egypt, were periodically damaged by powerful events such as earthquakes and tsunamis. This geoarchaeological study reveals that human activity in nearshore and port settings has also triggered sedi- ment deformation and construction failure. Analysis of radiocarbon-dated Holocene cores and submerged archaeological excavations record a sig- nificant incidence of sediment destabilization and mass movement in the ports since human occupation in the 1st millennium B.C. Anthropogenic substrate failure is documented from about the time of the city’s founding by the Greeks in the 4th century B.C. to the present. Construction on unconsolidated sediment substrates was a factor of sediment destabilization, at times in conjunction with earthquakes, storm waves and tsunamis. Engineer reports on port construction during the past century, however, show substrate failure can also occur by building and other human activity, independently of high-energy natural events. Some recent failure and associated mass flows in the harbours were triggered by loading effects associ- ated with emplacement of large structures on weak, water-saturated substrates.

  • Jewish Experiences with Water in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt
    Waters of the Exodus: Jewish Experiences with Water in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt by Nathalie LaCoste A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto © Copyright by Nathalie LaCoste 2016 Waters of the Exodus: Jewish Experiences with Water in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt Nathalie LaCoste Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This study examines how the fluvial environment shaped the writing of Jewish narratives in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt (300 BCE – 115 CE). It focuses on four texts that narrate the Exodus story and analyzes them in terms of how water in Egypt is described and how elements of the environment—such as the Nile or the Red Sea—are characterized in their retellings. I argue that the natural environment informed Jewish writings through the incorporation of new fluvial terminology, development of different conceptions of water, and the adoption of positive attitudes towards the environment. These features, found specifically in texts composed in Egypt, demonstrate the power of the environment to shape a foundational Jewish narrative. Previous studies on the Jews of Egypt have examined their lives in political, social, or economic terms, with little acknowledgement of the physical environment and its role in daily and religious life. By focusing on water, this work traces the emergence of distinct practices developed in response to the environment, such as the location of places of worship and emerging employment opportunities. Such characteristics distinguish the communities of Egypt from both other Jews and non-Jews.

ABSTRACT As one of the most visible signs of the modern world, the myriad of shopping places and types can be considered as a valuable lens through which to examine the contemporary city. In Alexandria, Egypt, the situation was particularly interesting because retail space was moving in two polarized directions: exclusivity and entropy. First, there was an emphasis on creating high-end restricted modern space while at the same time, low-end retail, both modern and traditional, were proliferating and becoming less organized. The high-end modern retail created exclusive spaces in which traditional forms of gendered space could be upheld, although in a reconfigured manner.

  • Sustainable Waterfront Development—A Case Study of Bahary in Alexandria, Egypt
    Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture 11 (2017) 380-394 doi: 10.17265/1934-7359/2017.04.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING Sustainable Waterfront Development—A Case Study of Bahary in Alexandria, Egypt Riham A. Ragheb Department of Architectural Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Pharos University, Alexandria 21311, Egypt Abstract: Sustainable waterfront development is about creating a vision for an area and then deploying the skills and resources to realize it after involving a dialogue with the customer within an area. Also, it draws together many strands of place making such as environmental responsibility, social equity and economic viability, planning and transportation policy, architectural design into the creation of places of beauty and distinct identity. The development of waterfronts shapes communities around the water bodies and reflects the ability of cities to adapt to altered economic and social circumstances. The aim of this paper is to identify some approaches for applying sustainable waterfront development. By respecting the quality of life and defining sustainability in a broader context, a case will be made for enhancing the waterfront development, through the place making criteria, analyzing the Bahary waterfront in Alexandria, Egypt. The paper concludes some recommendations to develop Bahary waterfront based on the principles that are collected from the theoretical study in order to well design a waterfront responded to the wishes of the community. Key words: Place making, quality of life, Bahary, sustainable waterfront development. 1. Introduction potentials by the application of the sustainable waterfront development approaches are analyzed. The waterfront is a unique and irreplaceable Then the paper concludes the important resource, also, its boundaries are difficult to determine recommendations to improve this area in order to because they are contained mixed use development, achieve sustainable waterfront development.
