While this evolution has created bustling and densely populated areas, it has also prompted residents with means to seek housing alternatives in the outskirts of the capital, areas like New Cairo or the Sixth of October City.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>These older mixed-use neighborhoods possessed unique qualities absent in <\/strong><strong>contemporary developments, <\/strong>Kareem Ibrahim, CEO and cofounder of urban developer <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.takween-eg.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Takween<\/a> told Enterprise. They offered walkability, enhanced quality of life, and diverse social and economic environments that created the metaphorical town square, he noted. These characteristics, once common and inherent in traditional communities, have largely disappeared since the mid-20th century\u2019s shift toward modernist planning approaches \u2014 a loss that makes neighborhoods like Zamalek, Maadi, Garden City, and Downtown Cairo particularly valuable today. But, Ibrahim added, credit for that model shouldn\u2019t be attributed solely to colonial architecture \u2014 we had our \u201cown\u201d historic cities that had the same qualities as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The prospect of a less segregated Cairo appears increasingly distant. <\/strong>New developments, including New Cairo and the New Administrative Capital to the east, and Sixth of October to the west, continue the city\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/17549175.2022.2137686\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">outward expansion<\/a>.

This development pattern has sparked <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.opendemocracy.net\/en\/north-africa-west-asia\/cairo-history-of-peoples-right-to-city\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">ongoing debates<\/a> about whether to preserve colonial-era architecture or return to indigenous design principles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The migration to new communities, originally driven by wealthy residents seeking <\/strong><strong>security and separation from less affluent communities, has evolved. <\/strong>According to Ibrahim, \u201cpeople now choose gated communities primarily because they seek better governance.\u201d This encompasses improved solid waste management, traffic control, land use planning, and parking systems \u2014 fundamental aspects of urban management that existing areas often struggle with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Ibrahim advocates for a planning approach that reinterprets the successful qualities of <\/strong><strong>20th century urban plans and implements them for the 21st century.<\/strong> The goal shouldn\u2019t be to replicate these historic neighborhoods, but to learn from their achievements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>So does a concrete definition of Egyptian architecture exist?<\/strong> El Husseiny offers a nuanced perspective, describing that the Egyptian urban landscape is an \u201cinterweave of the social fabric overlaying the physical urban fabric\u201d \u2014 a complex mixture of community and construction. He makes the comparison that throughout Egypt\u2019s history, there has never been a purely authentic Egyptian bloodline. \u201cBeing Egyptian is to belong to the world, to belong to the civilization that extends thousands of years,\u201d he added, suggesting that Egypt\u2019s architectural and cultural identity alike are inherently inclusive and adaptive, shaped by eras of global
