  • Approaches and Lessons for Enhancing Walkability in Cities: a Landscape Conceptual Solution for Talaat Harb Street, Cairo
    International Journal of Education and Research Vol. 2 No. 6 June 2014 Approaches and Lessons for enhancing walkability in cities: a Landscape Conceptual Solution for Talaat Harb Street, Cairo By Mohammad H. Refaat Nezar A. Kafafy Ass. Prof Lecturer Department of Urban Design Department of Urban Design Faculty of Urban & Regional Planning Faculty of Urban & Regional Planning Cairo University Cairo University Abstract: Walkability is a measure of how friendly an area is to walking. Walkability has many health, environmental, and economic benefits. Factors influencing walkability include the presence or absence and quality of footpaths, sidewalks or other pedestrian right-of-ways, traffic and road conditions, land use patterns, building accessibility, and safety, among others. Increased walkability has proven to have many other individual and community health benefits, such as opportunities for increased social interaction, an increase in the average number of friends and associates where people live, reduced crime (with more people walking and watching over neighbourhoods, open space and main streets), increased sense of pride, and increased volunteerism. One of most important benefits of walkability is the decrease of the automobile footprint in the community. Carbon emissions can be reduced if more people choose to walk rather than drive. Walkability has also been found to have many economic benefits, including accessibility, cost savings both to individuals and to the public, increased efficiency of land use, increased liveability, economic benefits from improved public health, and economic development, among others. In this research we shall deal with the various concepts and theories of the walkability phenomena. In the second part of the research we shall demonstrate the various successful examples worldwide in transforming a high density street within the city to a walkable street.

Alors que les relations entre citoyens et autorités étatiques ont été contestées, modifiées, puis repoussées dans une direction réactionnaire, comment les relations de genre ont-elles été contestées depuis 2011 ? Quels nouveaux imaginaires, quels nouveaux rôles et identités ont été revendiqués ? Quelles mobilisations se sont construites face à l’essor saisissant des violences sexistes dans l’espace public ? Quatre ans après le début de la période révolutionnaire, ce numéro d’Égypte/Monde arabe explore les nouvelles luttes liées au genre en Égypte au prisme de la sociologie, l’anthropologie et la science politique.

  • Downtown Cairo
    448 Urban Regeneration and Sustainability URBAN REGENERATION OF PUBLIC SPACE – AL-ALFI STREET – DOWNTOWN CAIRO S. ATTIA, Z. SHAFIK, A. EL HALAFAWY & H.A. KHALIL Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, Egypt. ABSTRACT Urban regeneration has been an accepted strategy for reviving city centers around the globe in Western Developed settings and in developing cities for decades. In Cairo, post January 25th Revolution, the Egyptian government sought an approach to upgrade several sites in downtown classical Cairo, to set new conditions for use of public space, to redistribute the power of authority and re-define the rules for the claim of public space of the city. The Cairo Governorate officially launched many projects within the same period; mainly focusing on refurbishing squares and streets, facades face lifting, control- ling vendors’ trespassing and regulating car parking space among other regulations within Downtown area. However, having accepted and acknowledged the governmental intentions of the regeneration projects a question poses itself as to ‘How the community perceives and cherishes those initiatives?’ More important questions are raised regarding the regeneration of Al Alfi Street, the case study that addresses the governmental attempt in down town Cairo in 2015. It brings to light the dynamics enacted between different stakeholders. A research is conducted by adopting participant observations, surveys, questionnaires, and interviews with the local community and different stakeholders to understand their perception and appreciation to the ‘2015’ urban regeneration attempt. The findings of the paper set the urban regeneration principles in a discussion aiming at assessing the stakeholders’ involvement versus their goals and measuring their satisfaction with the outcome of the project, while still posing the ques- tion of the meaning of urban regeneration to the local community and to alternative scenarios that could yield more successful outcomes.

Today, his literature appears prophetic, providing a window onto the metaphysical connotations of democratization which, in Egypt, have long been haunted by the moral vacuousness of western style secularism and what Jürgen Habermas has described as the global “revitalization of religion” in the public sphere. Drawing on research conducted before and during the 2011 uprising in Egypt, this dissertation explores how one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers aestheticized— both through novels and through film— the political transformations of his day and how his work might contribute
