Abstract

Old and heritage city-centres in Egypt represent unique urban entities characterized by historical atmospheres which mostly belong to Arab culture dating to Islamic eras, particularly the Mamloukian period. Singular activities aiming to conserve or restore certain heritage buildings in such areas are usually incapable to achieve the required development objectives. Therefore, adopting a comprehensive sustainable development strategy may represent a proper approach to deal with problems of degradation, and urban and economic deterioration facing old and heritage city-centers. Modern and rapid urban developments in old city-centres have contributed to the loss of cultural and economic values. Therefore, re-use and rehabilitation of such areas in coherence with current social and economic circumstances should be considered as a determining factor in any comprehensive sustainable urban development strategy for the given area. This paper proposes a development programme that comprises many stages: urgent ones aim at preventing rapid deterioration; and consequent stages aim to achieve sustainable development of such important areas of Egyptian cities.
