Cairo: urban agriculture and visions for a "Modern" city.

Urban Farm DB summary

A paper on Cairo, the urban centre of Egypt, which has undergone numerous transformations shaping its social and spatial structure over its long history. It describes a complex urban structure in which modern, post-modern-style architecture stands beside centuries-old buildings, and inner-city slums directly border high-rise buildings with mirror-glass windows. Greater Cairo is described as a typical mega-city of about 13 million inhabitants across three municipalities — Cairo, Giza and Qaliyubiya. The abstract provided breaks off at this point and does not include specific content on urban agriculture.
