Book Synopsis Living with Heritage in Cairo by : Ahmed Sedky
Book excerpt: The urban dream of the Arab Islamic city is seen in Cairo, the world's largest medieval urban system where traditional lifestyles are still implemented. Despite extensive efforts to preserve Historic Cairo, it is sadly vulnerable. Ahmed Sedky investigates the reasons for this, exploring and comparing regional and international case studies. Questions such as how and what to conserve are raised and elaborated through the perspectives of different stakeholders.
