One of Three Gates of CC (Capital City)
>> There are neighborhoods to live in, neighborhoods to shop in, neighborhoods to go out in. The sports facilities are in Sports City, the embassies are in the Diplomatic District, and the students study in Academic City. "That doesn't correspond to the Egyptian way of life at all," says the 58-year-old Yasser Elsheshtawy >>
Between professional skeptics and Gov assurances; the quest became not-interesting to the public.. Yes, Architecture is a product of Wealth and Authority.. Urban is a product of Democracy and Legislation.. Built Environment is a product of Demand and Supply.. What's happening across MENA is no different.. yet speechlessly unique..!
Greater Cairo is 0.17% of Egypt and 20% of Egyptians and 35% of Economy.. Certainly lots of imbalanced impacts would suggest different vision and feasibility..
It is a region's phenomenon whereas all technical and professional proposals, critics and comments are neglected.. A great divides are already established between academia and practices.. Between uniforms and suits.. Between both bulk and elite..!
This how the Metropolitan-Visionaries are struggling to create the common sense and collective intelligence among Professionals, Politicians and Big-City-Managers..
