Third Report: Al-Khalifa Street Area – Conservation and Management Plan 1. Introduction: The Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo project (CPHC) is a participatory applied research project that studies the following aspects of Historic Cairo as a site of “living heritage”: I. Management Guidelines for Heritage Sites – applied to the neighbourhood of alKhalifa. II. Studies for two special types of urban settlements within the borders of Historic Cairo: a. Dilapidated historic neighbourhoods listed as informal settlements despite their historic fabric and heritage value. b. Modern pockets of urbanism within the Historic City – namely modern public housing estates built for low-income target groups. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) listed Historic Cairo with its urban fabric as a World Heritage Property (WH Property) in 1979. Historic Cairo suffers from accumulated problems, due to different factors such as dilapidated infrastructure, uncontrolled urban transformation, lack of services as well as socio-economic pressures. A new approach towards the rehabilitation of historic city should be adapted. Rehabilitation should not only preserve the urban fabric, but should address the revitalization of Historic Cairo as tangible and intangible heritage and as a resource that communities benefit from and therefore preserve. This study is meant to discuss the “Management Guidelines for Heritage Sites”, one of the components of the project mentioned above. This component focuses on the site management of al-Khalifa with a focus on conservation and urban development projects. It focuses on the formulation of a site management plan for the street and its heritage resources particularly projects that have been, or are planned to be, implemented. This is to be done in partnership with stakeholders, whether residents, government officials, civil society, professionals, private businesses or potential sponsors and partners. This report is divided into three parts. The first part is meant to discuss a possible conservation plan. The conservation plan identifies the classes of buildings and open spaces, with the corresponding intervention. This part is also concerned with the identification of the critical areas in the urban fabric that could be used to enhance the historical urban fabric and reinforce the heritage value of al-Khalifa Street Area.

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

The second part will discuss the suggested Management Plan for al-Khalifa Street Area. Following the identification of the stakeholders, the Management Plan will set the vision and aims to be accomplished. Furthermore, the objectives and actions to implement the management plan will be clear in the suggested Action Plan. Usually, the Action Plan includes the actions for the site, the monitoring system, the responsibilities of the stakeholders and the period needed to realize these actions and their sustainability. The third part will showcase some suggested projects within al-Khalifa Street Area. These will be examples for packages that can be used to persuade the government to intervene in the area, or can be used to fundraise and attract possible donors. The packages will cover the following topics: • • • • •

Conservation and adaptive reuse of selected monuments in al-Khalifa Street Area. Upgrading and enhancing existing open spaces. Possible interventions on empty plots to improve the permeability of the urban fabric. Street fronts and facades of selected streets in al-Khalifa Street Area. Identification of future research projects.

The Conservation Plan, Management Plan and the Packages are interweaved together with the aim of improving the urban fabric and socio/economic impact on al-Khalifa Street Area. Having said that, it is essential to update all the plans, actions and packages annually. It is also important to involve governmental bodies, NGOs and the inhabitants in the implementation phase of the Action Plan. 2. Definition of al-Khalifa Study Area and al-Khalifa Street Area: a) Study Area of al-Khalifa: The Study Area of al-Khalifa is situated to the south of Historic Cairo - World Heritage Property. It consists of parts of the qism/district of al-Khalifa and al-Sayyida Zaynab. The Citadel boards it to the east, Salah Salim Street and al-Sayyida Nafisa square to the south, the mosque of Ibn Tulun and the Housing Project of Zaynhum to the east and al-Rifa’i and Muhammad ‘Ali streets to the north. The study area is situated roughly between the two hilly areas of the Citadel and Qal’at al-Kabsh and is connected to the Sayyida Nafisa and Bab alWazir Cemeteries.

b) Al-Khalifa Street Area: Al-Khalifa Street Area is the focus of the component of the Management Guidelines for Heritage Sites – applied to the neighbourhood of al-Khalifa. This corresponds to the Athar Lina 1 action area, located to the south-east of Historic Cairo within the Study Area mentioned above. From the north, al-Saliba Street borders the area, from the east Darb al-Husr Street, from the south al-Sayyida Nafisa Square and from the west the Mosque of Ibn Tulun. Since 2012, Athar Lina Initiative has operated along the following three main lines of action: 1. Conserve and rehabilitate monuments and historic buildings to turn them into a community resource. 2. Establish and strengthen ties between the community - particularly women, children and youth - and their neighbourhood’s heritage 3. Link heritage to economic and social development through an integrated approach that enhances and improves quality of life in the historic city.

Athar Lina Initiative operates within the framework of a partnership between a number of governmental and non-governmental entities – principal partners being The Built Environment Collective and Megawra in collaboration with Cairo Governorate and the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

Figure 2 Al-Khalifa Study Area and al-Khalifa Street Area.

Al-Khalifa Street Area of al-Khalifa is part of the Study Area and includes the mosques of Ibn Tulun and al-Sayyida Nafisa, considered as anchor monuments of Historic Cairo. Other outstanding monuments within al-Khalifa Street Area are the mausolea of Shajar al-Durr, alSayyida Ruqayya, al-Ja’fari and ‘Atika, restored by Athar Lina Initiative under the supervision of the MoTA as well as Fatima Khatun and al-Ashraf Khalil, for which a comprehensive conservation study has been prepared by Athar Lina. These diverse major anchors and outstanding monuments give the area a specific character. Al-Khalifa has an exceptional heritage value and is a hub for different activities, with a potential to enhance the socioeconomic condition of the community through social, cultural and service projects. 3. Al-Khalifa Street Area Analysis: Following the updated Geographic Information System (GIS) of al-Khalifa Street Area and based on a plot-by-plot field survey2, a detailed analysis of the urban fabric was carried out. This analysis gave detailed information on the heritage value of the buildings and open spaces, and covered the urban environment of al-Khalifa Street Area. The gathered information and the detailed analysis are a step to a comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan for al-Khalifa Street Area.

Some detailed studies were conducted for the Conservation Plan of the area. In this part of the report, analysis of the historic urban fabric will be discussed. From the outcomes of the field survey, classes for buildings and open spaces as well as categories of interventions will be detailed. Furthermore, the outcomes and recommendations from the monument, crafts and waste management studies will be mentioned. 3.1 Historic Urban Fabric - Buildings: The data collected and analysed made it possible to identify two sets of values used for a building’s classification: the heritage values (building focus) and the contextual value (relation with the environment). o Regarding heritage values, two parameters have been taken into account; the architectural class 3, and the listing status 4. o Regarding contextual values, three parameters have been taken into account; the alignment of the building front with the street line, the building’s integrity 5, and the relationship between the building and its context 6. i. Classes of buildings 7: The classification of buildings is a fundamental step towards assigning defined protection measures and controls on the buildings’ activities, based on each building’s value. The classification undertaken was based on the outcomes of a detailed field survey and took into consideration the aforementioned set of values and the building footprint. 8 This led to the identification of 48 building sub-classes. These sub-classes, although different in their particular combinations of values, can be grouped into 6 macro classes, each corresponding to buildings of equivalent heritage interest that can be subject to similar types of interventions.

Areas/ Classes of buildings Class 1 – Very High Class 2- High Class 3 - Fair Class 4 - Ordinary Class 5 - Inconsistent Class 6 – Unbuilt

The architectural class is the overall assessment provided by the survey form for buildings. It is a crossappraisal of typology, construction techniques, and representativeness of historic era or cultural group. 4 The listing status has management and preservation implications as defined by law. 5 Expressed through the modifications that have occurred to the overall building. 6 Being a cultural or visual landmark, and being in contrast, or not, to the urban setting. 7 This part is based on the Urban Regeneration for Historic Cairo Project, second report of activities 2012 – 2014. WHC/UNESCO. P.30 -47. 8 To create a comprehensive classification, the set of values were analyzed in relation to the building footprint status: built, partial ruin, under transformation, under construction, makeshift, total ruin, unbuilt. 3

ii. Categories of interventions for buildings Interventions on the built environment 9 can be grouped into two categories: conservation or transformation, each comprising several sub-categories. The application of either of these categories is related to the class of the building as defined in the inventory. a. Conservation Interventions These interventions aim to protect the building heritage value with no or few changes to their volume and height. Adaptive reuse can be applied to these buildings. The following types of conservation intervention can be identified: • Restoration • Rehabilitation • Upgrading •

Restoration: This type of conservation intervention refers to the act of returning the existing building to a known earlier state by removing accretions or by reassembling existing components without the introduction of new material. No demolition, removal, deformation or alteration is allowed in any form. In any case, no modification is allowed to the existing height, volume and footprint. Changes to present uses are allowed only Figure 6 Building interventions. within the scope of compatible activities as defined by the Conservation Plan.

•

Rehabilitation: This type of intervention aims to make the properties and buildings available for previous uses or for new uses. The intervention implies the adaptive reuse of existing volumes and structures with no major transformations. This type of intervention also implies the preservation and the reconstitution of the typological layout, the architectural structure and the decorative elements of the buildings. No transformation is allowed the layout, the volumes, heights, building alignments, facade composition and architectural elements10.

These categories of interventions are applied when a Conservation Plan or other planning tools with legal value are in place, such as the detailed plans mentioned in the “Building Law” n° 119/2008. 10 Existing inconsistent structures and additions have to be removed and replaced with structures that are consistent with the traditional character of the layout and building. Minor additions and alterations are permitted in order to make new uses possible, and to provide the necessary services and facilities. 9

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

•

Upgrading: An upgrading intervention implies the possibility of improving previous uses, and/or making the building available to new uses without its complete demolition, when these new uses are compatible with the preservation of traditional spatial characteristics and architectural features. Major changes to the building’s layout, volume and height are allowed, with the removal and replacement of inconsistent structures and the construction of vertical and horizontal additions within the limits of the Conservation Plan regulations.

b. Transformation Interventions These interventions are aimed at transforming the existing buildings and structures with the goal of integrating them into the historic context, or at least mitigating their negative impact: • Remodelling and harmonisation • Reconstruction • Redevelopment • Demolition •

Remodelling and harmonisation: This type of intervention implies the transformation of an existing building to make it compatible with the historic urban context with regards to its height and façades. It may include demolishing inconsistent additions, lowering the building’s height, transforming the roof shape, reshaping or replacing the openings and other contrasting architectural elements, as well as harmonising the façade’s composition, materials and colours.

•

Reconstruction: This type of intervention implies the possibility of demolishing and rebuilding an existing building in the same position following the Conservation Plan. The aim is to re-establish the continuity of the historic urban fabric by using compatible and appropriate materials and building techniques. Reconstruction requires respecting street alignment, footprint, and the articulation of volumes. The reconstruction’s height cannot exceed the maximum height established by the effective legal tools, even if the previous building was taller than the latter.

•

Redevelopment: Redevelopment implies the possibility of demolishing and rebuilding an existing building, but in a different position, as identified and regulated by the Conservation Plan.

•

Demolition: This type of transformation intervention applies to an existing building to be demolished, without intending to reconstruct or redevelop the land, which can only be cleared and made available for public or private purposes, including: o New landscape arrangements and urban infrastructure improvements, such as parking, gardens, or playgrounds.

3.2 Historic Urban Fabric - Open Spaces: From the data that was collected and analysed, it was possible to link a series of parameters that indicate the overall value of open spaces. The open spaces were subdivided according to street width and are displayed in 3 different sets 11. -

The classification of open spaces: The classification applied was based on the outcomes of a detailed field survey, and took into consideration four main parameters: o Overall general quality 12. o Presence of widening appearing when the overall street alignment is disturbed 13 o The dominance of the open space’s user, whether pedestrian or vehicular 14. o Threats appearing in the form of informal appropriations of the open space 15. 13F

14F

Classes of open spaces

The classification of open spaces is a fundamental step towards controlling the serviceability and preservation of streets and spaces in the Historic City, while also taking into account their location and value. This led to the identification of 38 open space sub-classes (columns) in 3 different sections 16. 15F

These sub-classes, though different with regards to their combination of values, can be grouped into 4 macro classes, each identified as consisting of open spaces of equivalent weight that can be subject to similar types of intervention. Areas/ Classes of open spaces

Number

Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 Class 4

34/ 352 9/ 352 32/ 352 277/ 352

9.66% 2.56% 9.09% 78.69%

The three different sets are: i- streets less than two metres, ii- streets between two metres and 6 metres wide, and iii- streets greater than 6 metres wide. 12 It is assessed based on evaluations made on horizontal permeability, an overall evaluation of its special quality and an overall evaluation of surfaces and materials. 13 It is related to the analysis of building fronts. 14 It indicates the presence of side factors such as pollution or noises, and the level of horizontal permeability. 15 The presence of informal parking, usage as an animal shed, or the informal accumulation of solid waste. 16 Nine of the sub-classes fell under those spaces less than 2 metres wide; 15 fell under spaces between 2 and 6 metres wide; and 14 were classed as open spaces greater than 6 metres wide. 11

ii. Categories of interventions There are two categories of interventions on open spaces: conservation or transformation. a) Conservation Interventions These interventions aim to protect heritage features and result in the preservation of the pathways with no or few changes in its morphology. The following types of conservation interventions are defined in this section: • Maintenance/Enhancement • Rehabilitation/Upgrading •

Maintenance/Enhancement o Maintenance: This type of intervention refers to the preservation of the integrity and usability of the existing assets in the open space. It includes both preventive and routine maintenance. It should include preserving the integrity of the furniture, the lighting units and signage, and street plantings; removing obsolete solid waste accumulations. o Enhancement: This type of intervention improves the street’s serviceability. This occurs by closing the street to vehicular access; by reducing the speed of vehicular traffic with speed reducers; by providing shaded areas with planted trees, etc. It allows for alterations and/or additions that are reversible.

•

Rehabilitation/Upgrading o Rehabilitation: This type of intervention aims to make open spaces available for their previous uses or for new uses. The intervention implies no major transformations; rather, it preserves or partially recreates the typological layout by preserving street alignment, finishing or softscapes. In this type of intervention, existing inconsistent structures and additions have to be removed and potentially replaced with structures consistent with the traditional character of the space that fall within the defined prescriptions. o Upgrading: Upgrading interventions imply the possibility of improving previous uses, and/or making the space available for new uses without completely altering it. Major changes to the spatial layout, including volumes, surface materials, plantings and elements of the softscape are allowed, as are the removal and replacement of inconsistent structures and the construction of infrastructures. All the transformations have to be consistent with the spatial layout and must form a unique and integrated ensemble, using compatible building materials and techniques.

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

b) Transformation Interventions: These interventions are aimed at transforming existing open space in order to integrate it into the historic context, or at least to mitigate its negative impact. The following types of transformation intervention are defined in this section: • Remodelling/Reshaping • New openings •

Remodelling/Reshaping o Remodelling refers to any technical work that alters the structure or form of the urban open space and its current features in order to restructure the general spatial quality of the open space. Radical changes to the spatial layout, including volumes, surface materials, plantings and elements of the softscape are allowed, as are the removal and replacement of inconsistent structures, re-establishing the continuity of street alignment and/or former spatial patterns, and the construction of infrastructures. o Reshaping refers to any technical work that alters the structure, typology or form of an urban open space. Radical changes to the spatial layout including volumes, surface materials, plantings and elements of the softscape are allowed, as is the removal and replacement of inconsistent structures and the defining of new street alignments and spatial patterns. It allows for the construction of infrastructures.

•

New openings o New openings refer to the creation of open spaces on the plot of a former building. The selection of, and intervention in the plot, is regulated by the building sections of the Conservation Plan. The intervention aims to change the plot’s land use and to adapt the layout for reuse. Therefore, major changes to the spatial layout, including volumes, surface materials, plantings and elements of the softscape are allowed, as is the removal and replacement of inconsistent structures and the construction of infrastructures.

3.3 Monuments According to the monuments study, a project for adaptive reuse for the monuments in good state of conservation is needed. These monuments have been restored in the past few years, but are still underutilized. They can be used as a catalyst to attract further visitors to the area and improve economic income for the area. These identified monuments are Sabil Al-Amir Abd Allah Katkhudha, the mausoleum of Shajar al-Durr and Hawd Shaykhu. A detailed study on each monument is needed in order to assign the proper adaptive reuse to it.

Figure 15 Sabil Al-Amir ‘Abd Allah Katkhudha.

Five monuments are, however, considered either in a bad or dilapidated state of conservation. These monuments should be a priority when identifying conservation and adaptive reuse projects. The monuments are Al-Ashraf Khalil Mausoleum, Fatima Khatun Mausoleum, Safiyy al-Din Jawhar Mausoleum and the Madrasa of Khushqadam al-Ahmadi. As for the typologies, three of these monuments are mausoleums and the fourth is a madrasa (higher educational Islamic institution) and minaret. It is clear that two of the five identified monuments were used until recent years by the inhabitants (the madrasa and minaret for praying), while the mausolea haven’t been used for years and are not associated with religious rituals or activities like the rest of the mausolea/shrines of al-Khalifa. It is also worth noting that the three mausolea are located on the main spine (the continuation of al-Qasaba of Cairo).

Finally, as outcome of the classes and interventions on the buildings of al-Khalifa Street Area, some empty plots/buildings in total ruin are attached or are in close proximity to the monuments. These plots are currently considered a hazard to the built environment in general and to the monuments in particular. This rupture of the urban fabric can be a potential to improve the overall condition of al-Khalifa Street Area, and could be used as an extension to the use and services of such monuments. However, a detailed study concerning ownership, legal status and needs assessment is needed for each plot.

3.4 Crafts The crafts in al-Khalifa Street Area are a vital economic income for the inhabitants of the area. Many workshop owners and craftsmen still live in the study area. The wide range of workshops available in alKhalifa Street Area should be part of the Conservation Plan, especially that these workshops are concentrated on the main streets and spines (al-Rukbiyya, Tulun, alSaliba, al-Buqali). Figure 18 Open spaces used by a workshop in al-Khalifa Street Area.

The spillover of these workshops should be accommodated/rearranged in the available open spaces and the empty plots, since more than half of these workshops and units utilise surrounding open space in their production activities and the display of their products.

Figure 19 Few products from the workshops in al-Khalifa Street Area.

The workshops that produce handicrafts and use light tools, or a combination of light tools and machinery, need further services like design centres to improve the design and quality of products, marketing nodes for better distribution of their products, selling points within al-Khalifa Street Area to link the production chain with the service chain and branding development to market the products and make them more memorable. 17

Few workshops in the area are considered hazardous or incompatible with the urban fabric and the monuments. This varies according to the use of the workshop and the area it is located in. Examples for these workshops and production units are chemical products for cars, workshops that produce a lot of solid waste that is not properly collected, and workshops that 17 This is currently being explored through Athar Lina’s pilot Project: Athar Lina Heritage Design Thinking School.

use large quantities of water and have poor sewage systems. It is recommended to address each of these problems and try to reach a better way for these workshops to function in. A more detailed study concerning the workshops should be conducted.

3.5 Waste Management On the institutional level, due to the multiple tasks of Cairo Cleanness and Beatification Agency and that some of these tasks intersect with other governmental bodies, there are inconsistencies and a lack of clarity regarding the different roles, which affects the efficiency of the current waste management system. Furthermore, poor service is provided by the contractor concerning the collection of recyclable waste only from certain areas and leaving the rest of the solid waste in the streets, as well as collecting from only 50% of the units18. The contracts between the CCBA and the contractors are supposed to end in 2018/2019. It is currently being reported that a new system is to be applied in Cairo, with CCBA responsible for sweeping the streets and local contractors in charge of collecting household solid waste 19 in the light of the establishment of Waste Management Regulatory Authority20 (WMRA) under the supervision of Ministry of Environment. Some speculations are also mentioning the return of the traditional solid waste collectors of Manshiyyat Nasr and the elimination of the collection points from the streets 21. It is not clear if this will be implemented in al-Khalifa Street Area or not. 18F

Figure 22 Map showing the solid waste collection points in alKhalifa Street Area.

On a technical level, few of the problems of the collecting phase could be pointed out. They include the lack of suitable equipment, collection tools and permeability concerning the urban fabric of al-Khalifa Street Area (narrow streets and lanes). Furthermore, the official collecting points are not enough, thus a number of unofficial collecting points have emerged throughout the urban fabric (especially close to monuments and around empty plots).

Further steps are needed to reach a comprehensive assessment of waste management in the area to be able to intervene or propose an effective management system. Some of the knowledge gaps or unanswered questions include the following: 1. Updating information regarding informal collection system; fees paid for the service. 2. Identifying the formal waste collection track. 3. Reliable and representative study of waste composition and its distribution across the study area as preliminary studies shows that the study area is not homogenous in terms of quality and quantity of the produced waste and its management. 4. Studying different feasible recycling and upcycling options within the area. 5. Study workshops of solid waste collection and possible reuse. 6. Further study of al-Khalifa Park waste collection points management system (points capacity and covered area – design, material and how to use – rate of waste transferring – potentials of biogas and compost generation).

4. The Rehabilitation and Regeneration of the Historic Residential Fabric: o Following the previous analysis of the urban fabric, a conservation plan was drafted taking into consideration the following:  Ensuring the “permeability” of the urban fabric for its users mainly to improve pedestrian mobility, as well as for management and maintenance purposes such as increasing accessibility for fire brigades, solid waste collection, etc.  Keeping the street alignments whenever possible and enhancing the integrity of the urban fabric.  The possibility of changing the usage of spaces, plots and buildings according to current needs that were not addressed in previous planning measures. These include the surrounding crafts and workshops’ activities.  The relation of a specific local area to its surroundings, in terms of urban features but also usage and necessities. A proper needs assessment has to be conducted as a mechanism for fine-tuning and detailing the previous recommendations, particularly in the case of increasing permeability, upgrade and modification. This fine-tuning is essential before implementing the recommendation, and can be achieved through a series of surveys concerning services, infrastructure and activities, as well as a number of workshops with the inhabitants and different stakeholders.

This is in addition to identifying “critical areas” where change can occur. The urban conservation should not freeze the current situation, but rather should result in the design and management of changes to the urban fabric. The map below shows the following: Monuments with their buffer zone, listed building, unbuilt land plots (class 6), partially ruined buildings and makeshift structures (class 5). The concentration of class 5 and class 6 in the urban fabric are identified as “critical areas”. 31

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

The number of empty plots in al-Khalifa Street Area is 43, total ruins are 40 and makeshift structures are 26. The total number is 109 plots. The concentration of these unused plots is considered critical and is a disruption to the urban fabric. These plots have potential either for new constructions or possibly for new open spaces. Seven spots have been identified as critical areas. In these spots, the intervention should follow the above-mentioned criteria of permeability, street alignment and improving the built environment.

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

Figure 23 A map showing the critical spots in al-Khalifa Street Area.

After the identification of the critical spots, and following the criteria to enhance the urban fabric of al-Khalifa Street Area, some plots were designated as open spaces. The remaining plots required a designated land-use. In order to designate such land use to the plots, a set of maps with specific themes were superimposed on the intervention map. The concentration of crafts and commercial activities in al-Khalifa Street Area gave indicated the spill over of these activities and pointed to the plots that could be used to complement them. The plots within the residential pockets in al-Khalifa Street Area were more suited for housing or service uses for the inhabitants. Before deciding on the kind of services needed in the area, a more in-depth study should be concluded.

The concentration of the commercial activities in the area are around the main spines: from al-Sayyida Nafisa to al-Saliba Street, Darb al-Husr, al-Buqali and al-Sayyida Sukayna Streets. This is an indicator for possible land-use for empty plots overlooking these streets. The idea is to keep the commercial vitality of the area and introduce new means of economic support for the inhabitants.

Figure 25 Concentration of workshops in al-Khalifa Street Area.

Clusters of workshops indicate the economic importance of crafts in al-Khalifa Street Area. More than 65% of the workshops need open spaces for extended workspace and display of products. The empty plots related to these clusters of workshops can be used for services that can accommodate these crafts. These services could include exhibition spaces, design centres, marketing facilities and further spaces for new workshops.

Figure 26 Tourist spines in al-Khalifa Street Area.

Al-Khalifa Street Area is one of the few areas that is regularly visited by local and international visitors. This is due to the presence of religious monuments that are connected to prominent figures that have mawlids (religious festivals). Furthermore, al-Khalifa Street Area contains one of the oldest monuments that has survived in Cairo (the Ibn Tulun Mosque), and a number of other monuments. Al-Khalifa Street Area lacks visitors’ centres and services, which can be accommodated in restored monuments or vacant plots close to the visitors’ routes.

Figure 27 Waste collection points and routes in al-Khalifa Street Area.

The solid waste collection points (official, unofficial and empty plots and the poor accessibility of the area to the collection paths show a need for preliminary sorting/recycling facilities and better permeability of the urban fabric. The recycling facilities can be hosted in the plots and indicated as part of the services for the inhabitants, while the permeability can help in improving the environmental conditions of the urban fabric (ventilation, light etc.) and in providing better emergency services (firefighting, ambulance etc.).

The following are the suggested new land-use of the Conservation Plan: The total number of plots used for housing: 55 plots. The total number of plots used for commercial activities/crafts: 30 plots. The total number of plots used for social facilities: 18 plots. 40

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

The total number of plots used as new open spaces: 31 plots. It is also clear that the new open spaces will have new facades overlooking them. Originally these facades were not meant to be exposed, therefore a project for intervening on these facades should be prepared on a case-by-case basis. Further discussion is needed with the local inhabitants and concerned stakeholders concerning the outcomes and suggested interventions. The local inhabitants should have a say in the suggested land-use, especially when it comes to the services needed in al-Khalifa Street Area and the permeability of the urban fabric. Local NGOs can play an important role in the involvement of the inhabitants, the dissemination of the project outcomes and the implementation of parts of the suggested Conservation Plan. The Ministry of Antiquities can provide vital support to the suggested Conservation Plan, especially concerning the conservation of monuments and the adaptive reuse of these monuments and their buffer zones. It is essential that Cairo Governorate adopt the Conservation Plan since it is responsible for the day-to-day activities within al-Khalifa Street Area, including building permits (building, rehabilitation, demolish and reconstruction), open spaces (paving and planting) and waste collection. With the support of the other governmental stakeholders (Ministry of Housing, Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Endowments, NOUH and other governmental agencies) 22, this conservation plan could be a tool in the safeguarding of al-Khalifa Street Area. Local and international donors can play an important role in the implementation of this Conservation Plan if approached appropriately. The involvement of stakeholders, inhabitants and NGO’s usually is an indication for donors that there is an interest in the upgrading of the urban fabric. A comprehensive conservation plan is another indication that a bigger picture is clear and is in progress. To this end, the current project is preparing a number of project packages that could be of interest to different donors 23.

5. Training and Dissemination Workshop Concerning the Conservation Plan 24. a) Introduction The workshop was held for three days, from the 1st to the 3rd of February, within the framework of the CPHC in collaboration with IMPAQT 25. The total number of participants were 50. The participants were students from Egyptian universities 26, part of the IMPAQT programme, as well as participants from an open call. The workshop was mainly focusing on the open spaces of the three main components of the CPHC Project: 1. Zaynhum: Public housing district of Zaynhum. 2. Al-Hattaba: Historical area that is classified as a category 2 informal area. 3. Al-Khalifa: Historical and residential area. Concerning al-Khalifa Street Area, the workshop focused on the study of critical spots of open spaces and empty/dilapidated plots mentioned above in the Conservation Plan, with the aim of developing innovative design solutions. This comes as an essential step in the development of the Conservation Plan and the Management Plan for al-Khalifa Street Area. The number of participants who worked on al-Khalifa open spaces were 13 of multidisciplinary background (students and professionals) and five were CPHC project members. b) Objectives This workshop was considered a further development of the proposed Conservation Plan and Management Plan of al-Khalifa Street Area by addressing the following objectives: o Visiting the concentration of empty plots, makeshift structures, partial and total ruin buildings. o Studying the urban fabric and its permeability. o Improving the permeability of the urban fabric. o Developing proposals for a selection of open spaces and their surrounding buildings. o Implementing one proposal from the workshop outcome. Three critical spots were selected as case studies addressing: i- interventions on dilapidated building plots; ii- open spaces connected to a monument; iii- open spaces used by inhabitants. The participants were divided into three working groups, with one spot assigned to each group. The methodology to work on the spots included the following:

Analyse available information and identify information to be collected for each typology. Field visit to the three proposed areas to collect the required information. Work on the proposed designs to utilise the spaces and introduce required activities. Present the final outputs. Choose the most appropriate proposal for implementation.

Following the workshop, further steps were prepared: • Calculate the budget required to implement the proposal. • Implement the proposal in partnership with the inhabitants. • Follow up on the open space after implementation with regards to state of conservation, management, maintenance and frequency of users. c) Pilot Project: Development of Yarim Agha Open Space Following the workshop, the open space of Yarim Agha was selected as a pilot project to test the proposed interventions. The area is an exceptional example of community involvement and intervention to elevate the surrounding urban spaces. The proposal to develop the open space included a series of interventions that were divided into three phases. The first phase was implemented, while the other two will be prepared in close consultation with the inhabitants. - Phase I: includes building works, plastering and painting of the flower beds, and plastering and painting for one of the walls overlooking the square (wall of the barn), in addition to planting. - Phase II: includes a graffiti design inspired by the heritage of al-Khalifa Street Area, suggesting new uses for identified areas of the square and installation of lighting units in the open space. - Phase III: implementing the graffiti, installing a seating area and implementing the suggested uses to the square. Interventions to upgrade and develop the open spaces began on February 10th and continued for a week until February 16th. The following works were implemented: - Building and plastering works for some flower beds. - Cleaning and planting. - Plastering and painting the wall of a building overlooking the open space. - Initial cleaning works for the open space floor.

6. Background of al-Khalifa Heritage Management: “Management plans provide the means for establishing an appropriate balance between the needs of […] conservation, tourism, access, sustainable economic development and the interests of the local community” 27. Historic Cairo is inscribed as World Heritage Property (WH Property) by the 1972 UNESCO convention. By signing the convention, Egypt is committed to ‘identify, protect, conserve, present and transmit’ WH Property to future generations. UNESCO requires each WH Property to have an appropriate management plan, or other legal framework (ex. by-laws, etc.), specifying how the property’s outstanding value, authenticity and integrity will be preserved, preferably through participatory means. Despite this, there is no comprehensive official management plan for Historic Cairo. It either has a partial management system for specific sectors or undocumented management practices. Many development projects have taken place in Historic Cairo 28, whether on the whole property area or on a specific area or listed building. Those implemented projects achieved objectives and strategies of the development of Historic Cairo. These objectives, however, do not properly reflect the overall state of the conservation of property due to the lack of coordination, resulting in a duplication of efforts and leaving areas completely neglected. This therefore highlights the need for a comprehensive management plan for Historic Cairo. Historic Cairo Management Plan: Between lost chances and new possibilities One of the objectives of the UNESCO project Urban Regeneration for Historic Cairo (URHC) 29 - running from 2010 to 2014 – was to prepare planning and management tools necessary for the conservation of heritage values of Historic Cairo, in addition to the socio-economic revitalization and environmental upgrading of the WH Property as a whole. The project presented to the government a management system along with general actions that should be taken to ensure the conservation of Historic Cairo. The proposed structure was partially adopted. URHC outlined an Action Project as well that would address - in a pilot area and within a limited time frame - some major issues affecting the property’s state of conservation and its Outstanding Universal Value (OUV). The intent of this was to establish a methodological sample, thereby setting up tools and procedures for urban rehabilitation and regeneration that could be extended to the rest of Historic Cairo WH Property through a comprehensive management plan. The Ministry of Antiquities (now the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (MoTA)) announced their consideration of appointing a General Council for the management of property, which would be legally constituted and which would have an independent budget.

would be instrumental in driving forward the URHC project outcomes 30. These plans were later modified and the development of Historic Cairo’s Management Plan is now seen as a continuation of URHC, which is divided into 3 stages 31: First stage: collecting data regarding the core parts of the studies (completed in August 2018). Second stage: analysing the collected data in order to reach the results and outputs (completed December 2019). Third stage: developing an action plan and executive projects. This stage also includes introducing a program to facilitate the site administration [management] process. While the plan’s implementation is uncertain, a national project of the regeneration of Historic Cairo is being developed by multiple national partners since 2019. These include: the Ministry of Housing, Armed Forces, Engineering Authority, Cairo Governorate as well as other partners and advisors. This project’s relation to URHC’s planned activities is not clear and has not been confirmed. 6.1. Purpose and Scope of the Management Plan: The purpose of this Management Plan of al-Khalifa Street Area is not to substitute the necessity of a comprehensive management plan for Historic Cairo. It presents a mechanism for the implementation of needed interventions and activities presented in the Conservation Plan of al-Khalifa Street Area that can be later integrated in a comprehensive management plan of Historic Cairo. Moreover, it serves as a pilot for management planning that can inform the management efforts for Historic Cairo as a whole, especially that al-Khalifa is one of Historic Cairo’s recognized strategic areas according to MoTA. The Management Plan will include required actions on the district level in order to achieve the vision, goals, and the proposed Conservation Plan of al-Khalifa Street Area. The Management Plan has strategic overall aims that should be reviewed every 10 years, and a set of priority short-term to medium-term actions/interventions should be achieved in a time frame of 3 years. The implementation period of this management plan is rather anticipated or estimated rather than defined, as the heritage management context in Egypt is rapidly changing and is prone to political changes (ex. change of cabinet). Government-led actions are implemented according to their changing and planned timeframes (highlighted as a management issue). The comprehensive management plan of Historic Cairo is expected to be ready within the 10-year timeframe of this CPHC Management Plan. Hence, al-Khalifa Street Area Management Plan should be revised once the government publishes the management plan of Historic Cairo.

6.2. Al-Khalifa Neighbourhood’s Significance Certain vales of WH Proerty makes it significant especially in the case of extensive sites 32 such as Historic Cairo. This section highlights what makes al-Khalifa neighbourhood special within Historic Cairo and where the focus of heritage management should be. One of the reasons includes al-Khalifa’s location within Historic Cairo. Al-Khalifa lies on the main Historic spine of the old city (al-Qasaba). This makes al-Khalifa Street one of the main gates to the heart of the old city. Moreover, the street acts as a link between the old city and the cemeteries. The relation between the residential part of the area and the cemeteries is unique given that, although the area of the cemeteries is of a completely different urban fabric, it has always been used as an extension for the daily activities of the residents. Being part of Historic Cairo, al-Khalifa is home to one of the main Historic Cairo attractions; Ibn Tulun Mosque and its adjacent Gayer-Anderson Museum. The mosque is one of Cairo’s biggest and oldest mosques and is famous for its unique minaret. It attracts visitors as part of their cultural tour of Historic Cairo. Al-Khalifa Street - named al-Ahsraf Street in some parts - contains many shrines and mausolea belonging to the family of Prophet Muhammad. This makes the street a local and international destination for visitors. This also makes the neighbourhood home to various annual religious celebrations (mawlids) honouring those members of Prophet Muhammad’s family. These celebrations usually last for five to seven days in which people travel from all around Egypt and stay in tents in the open spaces and streets of the neighbourhood. The activities happening throughout the days vary from religious to entertainment activities, and have changed in nature throughout the years. Other factors highlighting the uniqueness of the neighbourhood are the commercial and craft activities, which shape the economic basis of the residents. The neighbourhood is connected to al-Sayyida ‘A’isha and Salah al-Din Squares, where al-Manshiyya Market is located. AlManshiyya is one of main markets in Historic Cairo due to its connection to the transportation hub of al-Sayyida ‘A’isha Square. This huge local market brings commercial activities into the neighbourhood, especially into the streets which directly connect al-Khalifa Street with alManshiyya Market. The workshops in the neighbourhood are mainly for community-driven crafts33. Few craftsmen produce products inspired by the heritage of al-Khalifa or have tourist-oriented activities. What adds to al-Khalifa’s identity is its urban fabric. The neighbourhood’s residential fabric is rich with buildings of high architectural value, however, only nine buildings are listed by NOUH out of a more than 1,500 buildings in the area. Some other parts of Historic Cairo have more buildings listed by NOUH and are hence less vulnerable to demolition. The non-listed buildings of significant value are vulnerable to demolition and this is affecting the entire urban

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

fabric of the neighbourhood. Building values were assessed and analysed and an adequate conservation strategy was proposed for each building in the Conservation Plan. Finally, the neighbourhood has a strong community of residents. Unlike some parts of Historic Cairo that are primarily for commercial uses (such as al-Mu’iz Street for instance), the community of al-Khalifa is interconnected and connected to the neighbourhood. The rich stories and oral history that has been collected from the area 34 demonstrate the strong relationship that exists between the community and the neighbourhood. The previously mentioned points resonate why al-Khalifa needs special management action that is tailored for its context in order to ensure that it does not lose its distinguished significant values. 6.3. Process: Management plans are usually orchestrated by a higher political entity to make them binding to all stakeholders and make sure they are integrated within national strategic planning processes and detailed plans. The proposed Management Plan of al-Khalifa is not binding but is rather a proposal to be adopted by the government later. It may be used as an advocacy tool to mobilize resources and build momentum in order to reach a comprehensive Management Plan for Historic Cairo. The process of preparation can be divided into three stages. The first is a desk-based stage in which the structure of the Management Plan was defined based on the previous knowledge of, and familiarity with, al-Khalifa Street Area. It was guided by practical guides and working papers35 that were prepared by UNESCO and ICOMOS on the preparation of management plans of WH Property. Similar recent case studies 36 of WH Property’s management plans where reviewed and used to further develop the overall structure of the Management Plan. The second stage of preparation was mainly based on the analysis of results and data collected through the previous stages of CPHC Project and the outcomes of the Conservation Plan and community and experts’ consultations. Previous results of the community outreach activities of Athar Lina Initiative were taken into consideration as the only available in-depth consultation with al-Khalifa Street Area residents37. Other activities and collaborative workshops organized by CPHC Project validated the results of in-depth public consultations. This process showed the differences in issues between the residents facing main streets from those facing inner streets, and the difference in needs between al-Khalifa area and the general needs of Historic Cairo. In this stage the neighbourhood vision, long-term aims, objectives and actions needed were identified, and priorities of implementation where defined in an implementation plan.

Consultations where undertaken over a period of 6 months (starting June 2012). 34 35

The last stage will be to share the implementation plan, and its set of aims, objectives and actions, with experts and the public in order to obtain feedback. The results will be included in the Management Plan document to be shared with the government.

6.4. Structure: The Management Plan is structured into 4 main sections: • • • •

The first part is an introduction of the plan and a description of purpose, process, overall aim and structure. The second part is an analysis of the key stakeholders and management issues of alKhalifa Street Area. The third part starts with the neighbourhood vision and the objectives and actions to be achieved. The last part includes the general action needed on the level of Historic Cairo, the implementation plan on the neighbourhood level and the future actions of Athar Lina Initiative.

7. Identification of Management Issues 7.1. Identification and Analysis of Key Stakeholders 38 In Figure 1, key stakeholders were identified and mapped, and key active actors were also highlighted. They were later divided according to their power of managing al-Khalifa Street Area and according to their interest in the area. This was done in order to be able to define the engagement strategy for each stakeholder.

It is responsible for the daily inspection and monitoring of monuments. With regards to the tourism 41 side of the ministry, the following administrative bodies are involved in heritage management. In general, the tourism arm helps in promoting tourism in the country, and is responsible for monitoring and evaluating tourism performance. 40F

Sector of Touristic Buildings and Hotels: Regulates issuing licenses and monitors quality. Sector of Touristic Companies and Guides: Responsible for issuing licenses for tour guides and companies providing services to tourists, and for regulating touristic transportation. General Authority of Tourism Promotion: Responsible for touristic promotion activities, producing and disseminating touristic information and organizing touristic promotion events. General Authority of Tourism Development: Primarily works in specific sectors outside of Cairo but also has a role in the development of some parts of Historic Cairo through financial and technical support.

This used to be a separate ministry, under the title of the Ministry of Antiquities, until 2019. See Report One, Al-Khalifa Study Area, Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo Project. Build Environment Collective, Ford Foundation. April 2019. 41 This used to be a separate ministry, under the title of the Ministry of Tourism, until 2019. 39 40

Cairo Governorate (CG): The governorate of Cairo has full authority on the district level to manage the daily activities within the neighbourhood other than the activities carried out by MoTA. For example, it is responsible for restoration and demolition permissions and for all buildings except heritage buildings listed by NOUH and monuments listed by SCA. The following are its key sub-divisions/management bodies: Al-Khalifa District and al-Sayyida Zaynab District: The majority of the neighbourhood is under the authority of al-Khalifa district and part of it belongs to al-Sayyida Zaynab District Authority. The district administration issues demolition decrees and building permits. They also monitor the economic activities and manage and maintain open spaces. The district is also responsible for monitoring waste collection activities. Heritage Conservation General Directorate: Responsible for facilitating governorate work in relation to monuments, and coordinates this with MoTA. Housing Directorate: Responsible for the projects and constructions by the governorate. Responsible also for the supervision of the implementation of al-Khalifa Environmental Heritage Park. Cleaning and Beatification Authority Housing Directorate: The responsible body for cleaning open spaces and streets and managing and maintaining open green spaces. Ministry of Culture (MoC): Responsible for cultural events within the country through various sub-divisions. National Organization for Urban Harmony (NOUH): A key actor within Historic Cairo as it is responsible for identifying buildings of peculiar value and issuing and monitoring building regulations for buildings, open spaces and streets within listed areas of significant value such as Historic Cairo. Cultural Development Fund: Funds cultural events supporting intangible heritage and initiatives supporting adaptive reuse of monuments into creativity centres. 17 monuments have been rehabilitated already. Intangible Cultural Heritage Safeguarding Unit: Preparing national studies and work on safeguarding intangible cultural heritage and coordinating with UNESCO in light of the 2003 convention for Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage. Supreme Council of Culture: Assists with strategic planning for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage through its committee of folkloric arts and intangible cultural heritage. Ministry of Endowments 42: The ministry is directly responsible for managing and maintaining all mosques in Egypt and managing endowment assets through the Authority of Endowments. The properties inventory of the authority is complex, and there is normally an issue of dispute between the ministry and citizens or other governmental bodies. See Bakhoum, Dina & URHC. “Awqaf Properties: Maintenance and Management", Urban Regeneration project for Historic Cairo – UNESCO, World Heritage Centre, 2014.

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

Authority of Endowments: Responsible for managing endowment assets. A lot of buildings and plots within Historic Cairo are endowments. The authority collects rent from people living in buildings that are on endowment lands. Ministry of Housing and New Communities (MoH): The ministry is responsible for providing housing and related utilities and services. In Historic Cairo, the ministry is responsible for the development of some development projects of Historic Cairo Development. Moreover, MoH is responsible for the redevelopment of the listed unsafe informal areas, in partnership with Informal Settlements Development Fund (ISDF). Utilities such as telephones, natural gas, water and electricity are provided by public companies but managed and coordinated with the Ministry of Housing. General Organization of Physical Planning Authority (GOPP): This is often a partner in Historic Cairo Development projects. It normally plays a role during the planning and preparation of projects or acts as a technical reference. Holding Company of Water and Sanitation: In addition to its normal role, a special role it has is participating in projects related to the groundwater affecting all of Historic Cairo. New Urban Communities Authority: It is normally not a partner on projects implemented within existing cities or urban areas, but since the modification of its Law 43 in 2017 it is now responsible for the redevelopment of areas listed as ‘redevelopment’ areas, meaning all areas within Historic Cairo that are listed as informal areas. 42F

Executive Council of Fatimid and Islamic Cairo Renewal: This is part of the Central Agency for Reconstruction. The council is responsible for the supervision of project implementation commissioned by MoH and participates in restoration projects with MoTA. Local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs): In al-Khalifa district, according to the website of the Ministry of Social Solidarity (MoSS), there are 96 NGOs in total, and around 14 are located within al-Khalifa Street Area. The main activity of 82% of the NGOs involves social assistance as well as cultural, educational and religious services. The ratio drops to 71% in al-Khalifa Street Area. Regarding the nature of the NGOs located in al-Khalifa Street Area, five are of religious oriented activities, three serve special communities from specific rural cities or work in specific sectors, one is politically oriented, another one serves women and four serve the general public. From the experience of Athar Lina Initiative, the actual presence of NGOs, or their willingness to cooperate in development activities, varies. Some NGOs are very present with strong connections to the community, while others exist without any real significant present in the neighbourhood 44. 43F

Athar Lina Initiative 45: The initiative is well imbedded within the neighbourhood through its running programs. Its strongest connection occurred by establishing al-Khalifa Community Centre and running its activities. Since the Initiative’s headquarter is also based in the 4F

Law of New Settlements Development 59/1979. NGOs that have presence in the community, or a connection with Athar Lina Initiative, are al-Quran NGO and al-Nasab al-Sharif NGO. 45 See “5. Previous and Ongoing Projects in Relation to the Extended Study Area” in Report One of CPHC. 43 44

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

neighbourhood, the initiative has not only become an actor within the neighbourhood (via its projects and activities that have a direct impact on the neighbourhood), but has itself become simultaneously affected by this interaction with the community. The activities of the initiative are driven by the local community’s needs and are developed through time in order to be sensitive to the local context. The initiative is also seen by the community as a local actor that can lobby within governmental networks. Community Based Organizations (CBOs): There are some CBOs that do not have a legal entity registered at the Ministry of Social Solidarity (MoSS). These groups are mostly service groups belonging to the mosques and shrines of the neighbourhood. They work throughout the year to serve the followers of religious figures buried within the area, and their services revolve around the mawlids, which are the yearly celebrations of certain religious figures. During these celebrations, they serve food and accommodation and organize chanting (zikr) groups for the followers and attendees of the mawlid. Local Community: Although the boundaries of al-Khalifa Street Area are not the same administrative divisions set by the government, the defined boundaries by the CPHC Project houses an estimation of around 20,000 people. Normally, residents of these types of neighbourhoods are extended families who have been living in the neighbourhood for three or four generations. A considerable part of the current generation tends to leave the neighbourhood and live somewhere else, either to be closer to their work places or to seek a better quality of life. This is due to a lack of development and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure in Historic Cairo. Territoriality within the neighbourhood follows a complex layer that defines it. Questions such as “where are you are originally from? how long have you or your family been living in the neighbourhood? which street or part of the area do you live in? which other families do you have connections to? which business do you own, or who do you work with,” along with many other questions can define your social network and hence your social status. The social network is very important in such an urban setting as it is the safe network during harsh circumstances. Inhabitants within the neighbourhood with a well functioning business usually have more power within the neighbourhood. They usually help people facing social or financial challenges through various way. They might offer a person a job, a loan or grant based on that person’s connection to them. Such powerful figures are considered community leaders even if they do not publicly claim it themselves 46. I.

Other stakeholders

Historic Cairo is a massive area with a very complicated legal framework and a diversity of administrative bodies each with a specific mandate and many overlapping. This has played a crucial role in the management of Historic Cairo. Below is a list of secondary stakeholders:

See El Ansary, Chirine and Al-Ibrashy, May & URHC. “Research on Intangible Heritage and Storytelling Event in the Action Area - ", Urban Regeneration project for Historic Cairo – UNESCO, World Heritage Centre, 2014. 46

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

Ministry of Social Solidarity (MoSS): Responsible for registering and monitoring all NGOs in the country hence approving all budget and issue acceptances of receiving funds from abroad. Moreover, it organizes exhibitions and funds handcrafts and families undergoing domestic production. This is all organized through the Social Welfare and Development sector. Central Directorate of Social Development: Organizes exhibitions for crafts and has support programs. Central Directorate of Social Welfare: Responsible for the administrative issues of NGOs. Ministry of Interior Affairs (MoI): Responsible for the general security of the city, and has a specific directorate for tourism security responsible for the safety of tourist movements and touristic attractions. The ministry is also responsible for the management of all vehicles and transportation. General Directorate of Traffic: Responsible for managing traffic in all streets and licensing all vehicles either civil or touristic. General Directorate of Tourism and Antiquities Police: Responsible for the safety of monument sites, tourist attractions and tourist related transportation. Elected Local Public Councils: The authority responsible for monitoring the performance of the executive authority on the local level. Since the 2011 revolution, the local public councils’ elections were never organized. In December 2019, the government released the first draft of the law in order to move forward with the LPC elections. The law has not yet been approved by the parliament. Parliament Members: Elections of the parliament are carried out based on constituencies different from the administrative borders of districts. Al-Khalifa neighbourhood is located in the constituency of al-Khalifa and al-Muqattam and is represented by 2 members. Supra Level Committees or Councils: Some supra level councils and committees were formed with the aim of creating a centralized decision-making body that ensures coordination of all management efforts. This happened despite the fact that such supra level committees are sometimes temporary and are substituted by other supra level committees that are more inclusive or keep existing with no significant impact on the management process. Supreme Committee of WH Property: Established in 2018 47 under the direct supervision of the president. Its mandate is to set strategic plans and a vision for the safeguarding and management of WH Properties, and coordinate between national and international stakeholders. No clear work plan has been issued since its establishment. 46F

Ministerial Committee for the Management of Historic Cairo: Established in 2015 based on a recommendation by URHC. International Organizations: Key players in heritage protection as they help with technical and financial assistance and also conduct monitoring and reporting tasks. It is mostly a voluntary effort, except when tied to an international agreement. UNESCO: Key actor in monitoring given its responsibility for tangible and intangible cultural heritage protection worldwide. Since Historic Cairo is WH Property, UNESCO receives a biannual report regarding the state of conservation of Historic Cairo and organizes inspection visits to WH Property regularly. It also provides technical and financial support to protect cultural heritage and organizes specific funding campaigns in some cases. International Donors: International funding agencies provide technical and financial assistance. A list of contributors to projects implemented in the neighbourhood include: American Research Centre in Egypt (ARCE), US Embassy, Ford Foundation, Drosos Foundation, Prince Claus Fund, Barakat Trust, Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, UNESCO, British Council, and Danish Egyptian Dialogue Institute. Research Community: University research teams and independent researchers are involved by conducting research on al-Khalifa Street Area providing insights to, and solutions for, neighbourhood problems. Stakeholder analysis were done according to a power/interest matrix as mentioned before. The result of the analysis was the following graph in which the primary and secondary stakeholder were separated by a virtual diagonal line. The primary stakeholders, falling inside the blue shaded area (Figure 2), are more powerful and have interests in the management of al-Khalifa Street Area. The secondary actors are less powerful and less interested in the management.49

It is important to mention that the minister’s office usually has additional advisors, assistance and a technical office that monitors and helps the regular administrative structure. This often leads to doubling efforts and creates a parallel structure. This is the case for nearly all the ministries. 49

7.2. Needs Assessment Efforts to assess the needs of al-Khalifa neighbourhood started before the CPHC Project and dates back to the first activities of Athar Lina Initiative in 2012. Such activities helped in identifying the problems of al-Khalifa neighbourhood, and in understanding the community and translating their needs into priorities and actions. A review of the previous identification of problems and a study of its development and change over time was done, and a synthesis was drafted and compared with recent efforts of CPHC to reach the most updated needs assessment for the neighbourhood. The previous needs assessment efforts by Athar Lina Initiative and others50 have been taking place from 2012 up until today. They were not necessarily carried out in a comprehensive manner; some of the assessment only covered a specific geographical area and it occasionally covered specific needs. The main needs assessments covered al-Ashraf Street, al-Khalifa Heritage and Environment Park, groundwater problems, waste management, and solutions for deteriorated vacant plots. The main needs identified can be divided into 3 main groups or themes:

Others: Tadamun; URBEGO.

Figure 41 Timeline of previous studies of al-Khalifa neighbourhood needs. (Source: Authors)

Housing conditions: The community highlighted the need to improve the dilapidation of residential buildings, especially as a result of groundwater problems. The quantity of new residential units was not emphasized, perhaps because of the current population decline happening in al-Khalifa. Overall, the community needs enhancement of its open spaces including its streets. The pavement and street lighting needs improvement. Infrastructure and utilities: The neighbourhood faces significant problems related to its decaying infrastructure. The community therefore recommended the following: • Repair and maintain the failing public sewage network. • Improve waste collection services. • Improve and maintain the water network, as most residents suffer from low water pressure and irregularities. • Connect the area to the natural gas network. Services: The neighbourhood lacks certain services, and other services need improvement including: • Adequate health facilities in the area. • Preparatory or secondary schools in the area. • Create more green open spaces and spaces for sports and recreation. • Cultural centre/kid’s activities. • An education/training centre for adults. • Multipurpose hall. • Enhance local fruits and vegetables market.

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

CPHC Project reviewed the previously mentioned studies and conducted its own validation of the results. The validation was based on field work and mapping needs of the neighbourhood. Focus group meetings with selected groups were organized in addition to informal interviews with the residents. Informal interviews were conducted during workshops, public events were organized by projects and focus groups with the women residents of al-Khalifa took place. I.

Al-Khalifa needs assessment conclusion

The main needs identified can be divided into 4 themes: • Housing conditions: • Improve dilapidated residential buildings. • Enhance open spaces especially paving and street lighting. • Infrastructure and utilities: • Resolve the issue of rising salt damp. • Repair and maintain the failing public sewage network of the area. • Improve waste collection services. • Improve and maintain the water network. • Connect the area to the natural gas network. • Services:  Adequate health facilities.  Adequate childcare services.  Preparatory or secondary schools in the area.  Open spaces and spaces for sports and recreation, particularly for women and pre-schoolers.  A community centre for kids’ activities, adult education, tuition classes, substance abuse and public health program as well as vocational training, particularly for teenagers and the youth.  Hall for events/celebrations.  Enhance local fruit and vegetable market.  Resolve mobility and accessibility issues. • Heritage and tourism development:  Well-maintained heritage sites that the community can benefit from.  Tourist services and signage to promote heritage sites, local businesses and crafts.  Small tourism-based businesses run by the local community. It was found from the conducted mapping that a couple of undergoing development projects are expected to cover part of the previously mentioned needs. This should be taken into consideration when allocating services or proposing new projects. These projects include: 1. The under construction project of al-Sayyida Ruqayya new Mosque: The project is expected to include a community service centre, however, specific services are not yet defined. 2. The under construction project of al-Khalifa Heritage Environmental Park: The park will include; an education centre for children, a kindergarten, a theatre, a playground, a women sports centre, an awareness centre and urban farming plots. 61

3. The planned dewatering project for al-Ashraf street. 4. The planned al-Ashraf Khalil and Fatima Khatun dewatering project. Also, some of the needs include wide scale interventions needed on a general scale of Historic Cairo, such as the sewage problem. Moreover, the need for a connection to a natural gas network is hindered by the deteriorated structural conditions of the neighbourhood’s buildings and requires huge investments. Such needs can be fulfilled on a long-term basis and should be included in the strategic plans of the governorate. However, some needs, such as a girls only secondary school, cannot physically be allocated in the neighbourhood as it would require a big vacant plot which is not available. Such needs can be fulfilled through other solutions such as providing efficient reliable transportation means to the closest available secondary school, or opening up a one-class school within the neighbourhood. An extensive participatory needs assessment study must be done in order to be able to identify the new service programme of the neighbourhood. The following conclusion is rather a guideline of what the neighbourhood needs. Any intervention should be preceded by indepth needs assessment studies to fine-tune these findings with reference to the proposed actions. 7.3. Key Management Issues Issues on the level of the entire Historic Cairo scale were identified by UNESCO/WHC (World Heritage Centre) in the State of Conservation Report of 2017 51 and the report of the Joint ICOMOS/UNESCO mission of 2014 and 2019 (ICOMOS & UNESCO, 2014; 2019). Combined with CPHC Project area analysis (CPHC B, 2019), the following issues related to the administrative management of Historic Cairo in general were identified and should be addressed on a governmental level (legal framework): •

•

The management of Historic Cairo is rather fragmented between different bodies with no clear coordination. A joint committee with representatives of different stakeholders and identified roles would solve managerial issues and overcome duplication of efforts. The legal framework is very complicated and diverse, usually implemented from various laws and administrative decrees. A revision of the laws in relation to Historic Cairo should be revised and discrepancies should be overcome. A common document that is user friendly with a clear framework and clear regulations should be produced. Lack of institutional capacity hinders efforts to develop the management system and results in a general weak management performance. Capacity building programs with specific management themes should be prepared and completed by relevant stakeholders. The relationship between public, private and civil society is weak. Projects with social responsibilities and community engagement should be encouraged in Historic Cairo.

The factors affecting property were found to include: housing; identity, social cohesion, changes in local population and community, management systems/ management plan, water (rain/water table). Other threats included: dilapidated infrastructure, neglect and lack of maintenance.

There is no monitoring system for management tasks. A monitoring system, and a post occupancy evaluation of projects and implemented tasks related to the Conservation Plan, should be adopted. The risk management component is neglected and emergency response protocols are spontaneous and specific to situations. Clear protocols and intervention policies in case of crises should be identified. Funding management, either governmental or international, is crucial to all efforts in order to develop Historic Cairo 52. Facilitating and encouraging the flow of funds and spending in Historic Cairo should take place, in addition to suggesting project packages that fit the Conservation Plan. Tourism is often seen as an opportunity to create income from heritage for the local community. Historic Cairo needs visitor-oriented services. MOTA should encourage and facilitate the involvement of local NGOs, businesses and investors in projects catering to these services.

These general issues manifest themselves in al-Khalifa Street Area in a variety of ways. Due to poor coordination between different management entities, conflict over rights and responsibilities results in poor use of public space. For example, waste collection points tend to exist right in front of monuments or within the monuments’ buffer zones. Prevalent issues such as groundwater tend to be resolved in a piecemeal manner (for example, via local dewatering projects) and comprehensive solutions tend to not take the special requirements of heritage buildings into account. Vague legislation concerning ordinance lines – which have been cancelled by the regulations for Historic Cairo issued by NOUH, but still continue to be reinforced according to an earlier law – results in development projects such as al-Khalifa Park Stalling. A poor civic sense and lack of interest in public-private partnerships results in the complete detachment of large local businesses (such as al-Mahgrabi Eye Hospital and Hawaii Ice Cream Factory) from local concerns. Observations such as these that identified priority subject areas are deemed to be of equal importance to the management of al-Khalifa as well as Historic Cairo. Answers to these issues need to be adopted by different stakeholders: a) Issues related to the historic urban fabric and quality of space • Poor control over construction and demolition, and a lack of understanding of the value of unlisted historic buildings undermines the compactness and integrity of the historic urban fabric. This is particularly critical in light of the rampant demolition of unlisted buildings of architectural value and the construction of unsightly new buildings. All issued demolition decrees should be revised by Cairo Governorate and NOUH in order to enhance the integrity of the urban fabric. • The lack of a clear maintenance strategy that is sensitive to the specificities of historic areas results in the dilapidation and ruin of buildings, as well as in the deterioration of streets and misuse of open spaces. An upgrade project for infrastructure and services The investment plan of al-Khalifa District in the fiscal year 2019/2020 contains a total of around 9.6 Million EGP and is allocated for the following: 65% road paving, 22% street lighting improvement, 13% district building improvement and equipment purchase.

should be prepared by MoH in coordination with NOUH and CG, and in accordance with Egyptian codes and regulations. Focus should be on prevailing issues such as groundwater rise, waste management and paving and lighting, and there should be clear implementation, monitoring and maintenance protocols. Poor oversight and the lack of a strategy for land-use results in vacant plots being misused as waste dumping grounds, or for socially unacceptable activities. This, and the presence of hazardous or pollutant workshops in residential buildings, is a public health concern. The quality of space is further undermined by excessive street parking and traffic congestion in main streets. Solutions should be devised in coordination between private businesses, relevant NGOs and governmental landowners, such as MoE, in order to optimise land-use for the benefit of the community according to an overall vision.

b) Issues related to listed buildings (monuments and heritage buildings) • The lack of a clear decision-making strategy and monitoring mechanism results in a wide variance in the state of conservation of listed monuments. Some are in a deteriorated or dilapidated state. MoTA should prepare a priority list depending on the state of conservation and the urgency of intervention in order to distribute the emergency and regular maintenance and conservation work needed. • The lack of a vision for heritage as a resource results in a short-sighted understanding of the role of MoTA as an owner/guard rather than as a custodian of monuments. Monuments and their buffer zones are underutilised. This is in spite of the fact that buffer zones, although under the authority of MoTA, may be used and/or owned by other stakeholders. Monuments need adaptive reuse plans in accordance with a needs assessment for al-Khalifa and the adaptive reuse guidelines prepared by MoTA in 2014. In the case of buffer zones, intervention permission from MoTA should be clear in order to avoid deterioration and underuse of the real estate property and open spaces within the buffer zones. • Given that the system for listing and managing heritage buildings is fairly recent, listing priorities seem to vary from one area to the other. As a result, the number of listed heritage buildings in al-Khalifa area is low compared to other neighbourhoods in Cairo. Generally speaking, there is no mechanism for supporting renovation and repair. The listing criteria should be revised by the committee responsible for listing heritage buildings (under the authority of Cairo Governorate), and an urban comparative analysis should be prepared in order to list more buildings. Private-public partnerships should be established to support renovation and suitable use. 7.4. Secondary Issues Other subjects were identified as secondary issues that need further investigation. These are long-term issues related to the protection and conservation of al-Khalifa Street Area including: awareness, archiving and information management, presentation and interpretation, education and research.

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

Vision, Aims and Objectives

In order to be able to set long-term aims, or short-term objectives, there should be a vision for al-Khalifa Street Area that is well discussed and agreed upon amongst all stakeholders. While there is not yet an overall official vision of Historic Cairo 53, joint ICOMOS/UNESCO’s advisory mission to Historic Cairo 54 argued in 2014 that planning for the management of Historic Cairo “cannot be undertaken from the basis of an acceptable status quo” as the situation needs rather urgent and immediate actions. The mission suggested that it is important to formulate a preliminary management structure and define assets as well as legal and administrative frameworks, and that during a later stage a clear vision of Historic Cairo can be drafted and agreed upon by all stakeholders. 52F

53F

Building on this argument and the fact that a vision for al-Khalifa Street Area should be coherent with the overall vision for Historic Cairo, and taking into account Athar Lina’s handson experience from studying the neighbourhood and being based in it for more than seven years, CPHC Project suggests drafting a vision for al-Khalifa neighbourhood that can serve as the foundation of the Management Plan, and that can be later integrated within the bigger vision for Historic Cairo. 8.1. Al-Khalifa Neighbourhood Vision Al-Khalifa area is known for its shrines and mausoleums that attract local and international visitors. Moreover, al-Khalifa is part of Historic Cairo making the experience these visitors have a key issue to be addressed in improving the overall quality of the area’s inhabitants. This can be addressed through the improvement of assets including the local crafts, commercial and heritage related activities and the overall quality of the neighbourhood’s open spaces and historic fabric. A vision for al-Khalifa Street Area was drafted based on Athar Lina’s hands-on experience and its relationship with the inhabitants that has been developing for more than seven years, as well as the extensive urban studies carried out by URHC and CPHC Project. The vision was used as a foundation for the Conservation and Management Plan. It can later be integrated within the bigger vision for Historic Cairo after discussions with and agreements amongst all stakeholders. The first step was to define development guiding principles based on the extensive study of al-Khalifa Street Area. The second step was to draft a vision statement for the neighbourhood. The development guiding principles are as follows: •

Ensure that al-Khalifa continues to be a living, contemporary and resilient neighbourhood with services and facilities that meet its users’ needs.

The drafting of Historic Cairo is currently in progress by the Antiquities and Environment Engineering Center at the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, and has been in progress since 2017. 54 ICOMOS, UNESCO (2014) Report of a Joint ICOMOS/UNESCO Advisory Mission to Historic Cairo and the Pyramid of Djoser, Saqqara, part of the World Heritage Property of Memphis and its Necropolis – the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur, Egypt. 53

4.3. Complement current development efforts by emphasising themed activity hubs within the neighbourhood. 4.4. Promote partnerships between different stakeholders and ensure their efficiency. 4.5. Secure ongoing funds for protection and development activities. 4.6. Monitor the effectiveness of the implementation of the Management Plan. 8.4. Al-Khalifa Development Approach To be able to achieve the above-mentioned vision, aims and objectives a way forward needs to be decided given the current limited resources and capacities. The development approach of al-Khalifa vision is building on the recent and current developments in the neighbourhood, as well as on the future planned projects by the government or those proposed by Athar Lina Initiative. The development approach is structured into 4 levels.

Level 1: Tackle all needed actions on policies level. Actions that are critical to the implementation of the Management Plan and essential for it to become operational, such as laws related action and action on higher levels (Historic Cairo, Governorate, National, etc.). Level 2: Enhance the overall quality of the neighbourhood activities hubs, gateways and routes. 1. Define activities hubs within certain nodes of the neighbourhood by catching the existing potential of previously implemented, or current, development projects. Four themed activity hubs were defined located on different sections of the main spine (al-Ashraf, al-Khalifa, and al-Rukbiyya). The activity hubs generally aim to alleviate the quality of life through enhancement of the quality of space, increasing and creating economic activities as well as providing services. • The Central Hub: Located at al-Khalifa Market Square, it connects all main entrances. Its strategic location is vital for regulating visitor and resident flow. It will be developed by regulating the current commercial activities and ensuring they serve all users. • The Cultural Tourism Hub: Ibn Tulun Mosque and Gayer-Anderson Museum are the main cultural attraction within the neighbourhood. Both were recently restored, and the museum is being used as a venue for heritage events. This hub will be developed to attract cultural tourists and encourage them to enter the neighbourhood to visit its other attractions. • The Mawlid Hub: Flexible open spaces for temporary accommodation and celebration activities, and two community centres serve local residents and religious visitors. • Al-Khalifa Heritage and Environment Park Hub: The park, and the two domes opposite to it, accommodate activities tailored to both inhabitants and tourists. The park complex contains a community garden, commercial outlets, and a wooded area with a restaurant for tourists. Integrated with the domes of al-Ashraf Khalil and Fatima Khatun (after their rehabilitation), it serves as a new hub for cultural tourism, provides needed services and enhances the connection to Zaynhum Housing.

Central Hub - Enhancing mobility (pedestrian and vehicular). - Rearranging al-Khalifa Market Square (providing shade and marked territories). - Signage/information point (to facilitate movement around the area). - Introducing new activities to serve all users (such as food stalls and other services).

Cultural Tourism Hub (North Entrance) - Touristic buses drop off/pick up points. - Information centre (can be hosted in one of the monuments after restoration). - Bazars/exhibition spaces (can be hosted in one of the heritage buildings). - Open spaces for shows (related to a listed monument).

Al-Khalifa Heritage and Environment Park Hub (Southern Entrance) - Information point. - Green and recreational spaces for residents and visitors. - Commercial outlets. - Food stalls and restaurant. The Mawlid Hub - Open space for multipurpose use. - Multi- functional space with shading structure. - Service, food preparation spaces. - Temporary accommodation spaces. - Public bathrooms.

2. Enhance the neighbourhood gateways and routes to increase connectivity with surrounding neighbourhoods and activities. The neighbourhood has specific entrances; each entrance has a dominant type of user. The development scenario includes the development of the following entrances: • The northern entrance from al-Saliba Street via Ibn Tulun Street: In addition to serving local users, this entrance serves visitors interested in cultural tourism. Enhancing it can attract visitors of the Citadel and Ibn Tulun Mosque to extend their visit into the neighbourhood. • Southern entrance from S. Nafisa Square: This mostly serves local users and visitors to the shrine of S.Nafisa. Some may continue their visit to the shrines of S. Ruqayya, al-Ja’fari and ’Atika, Ibn Sirin, S. Sukayna and S. Muhammad alAnwar. • Eastern entrances through Darb al-Husr to al-Sayyida ‘Aisha Square and alManshiyya Market: These entrances connect local residents and visitors to

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

•

existing commercial hubs. Moreover, they connect residents to the main transportation hub at S. ‘Aisha Square and the main market of al-Manshiyya. Western side entrances through Zaynhum stairs and Qal’at al-Kabsh: They mostly connect al-Khalifa to Zaynhum Housing and Qal’at al-Kabsh. Zaynhum and Qal’at al-Kabsh residents can access S. ‘Aisha transportation hub via these entrances.

Level 3: Propose surgical solutions to the inner fabric of the neighbourhood These solutions will aim to enhance the overall quality of the life of residents through physical interventions. The solutions include tackling the most important issues such as: • • • • •

Increasing permeability: to increase safety and commercial exposure. Enhancing open spaces: to enhance quality of space and provide a space for the community to interact within. Rehabilitation of monuments: to protect monuments and turn them into a source of income for the community. Crafts development: enhance craftsmanship and take advantage of crafts concentrations and develop production chain and related services. Provide local services: to meet the residents’ needs of services and increase the attractions and liveability of the neighbourhood.

Level 4: Improve overall community engagement and quality of life through non-place based activities and organized activities. These activities aim to improve the overall quality of life of al-Khalifa residents by providing needed trainings or services that are not place-based. • • • •

Increase heritage awareness. Provide technical support and provide needed services to local craftsmanship. Promote tourism in al-Khalifa. Help and promote self-development of the urban fabric by the residents themselves.

9. Management Structure Management responsibility for al-Khalifa neighbourhood resides with Cairo Governorate (alKhalifa District) and the Ministry of Antiquities (Historic Cairo Directorate). Management responsibilities and strategic issues are in conflict as there is no official document that clearly assigns responsibilities within the WH Property of Historic Cairo. In principle, there should be a single management structure that organizes all activities and monitors its implementation in Historic Cairo. Al-Khalifa should be managed as part of Historic Cairo with its management as a sub-structure. The UNESCO/ URHC Project (2014) proposed a management system of Historic Cairo illustrated in the following chart (Figure 5). Al-Khalifa management entity should be part of this hierarchy with a small workgroup consisting of members from the WH Property technical office, local government (on the district level) and local elected councils that are in constant communication with the local community. This workgroup should act as a channel that ensures the local community’s needs, recommendations and complaints are taken into considerations.

10. Way Forward This study is the result of Athar Lina’s eight years of work within al-Khalifa Street Area. The vision for the proposed development approach builds on recent and current developments in the neighbourhood as well as the projects planned by the government and proposed by Athar Lina Initiative. Taking it forward requires joint efforts between the government, the community and civil society. The Egyptian government has taken an interest in al-Khalifa Street Area as a potential heritage destination, and is currently working on Masar al-Bayt (itinerary of the descendants of the Prophet) as a route for spiritual visitation. The project is in its preparation phase. Designs are being finalised and implementation plans are being developed. The project is led by Cairo Governorate with the participation of the private sector and civil society. It is being planned in parallel with the implementation of a Ministry of Housing project working to upgrade sewage networks and resolve the groundwater problem in al-Khalifa Street. While Athar Lina Initiative is involved in the aforementioned development efforts, most notably in the implementation of Phase 2 of al-Khalifa Heritage and Environment Park, it is recommended that the proposed al-Khalifa Vision, and the findings of the Conservation and Management Plan, are incorporated in a wider vision to be adopted and implemented by the government. Cairo Governorate should be responsible for the Conservation Plan since it is responsible for the day-to-day activities taking place within the project area, including building permits (building, rehabilitation, demolition and reconstruction), open spaces (paving and planting) and waste collection. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities can provide vital support for the proposed Conservation and Management Plan, especially with regards to the conservation of monuments, the adaptive reuse of these monuments and their buffer zones and the monuments’ site management and signage. With the support of other governmental stakeholders (Ministry of Housing, Ministry of Endowments, NOUH and other governmental agencies), this Conservation Plan could be used as a tool in the safeguarding and development of the Street Area, as well as in improving the quality of life of the area’s inhabitants. Further discussion is needed with the local community and concerned stakeholders concerning the outcomes and suggested interventions. Residents should have a say in the suggested land uses, especially when it comes to the services needed and the permeability of the urban fabric. Local NGOs can play an important role in involving the community, disseminating and discussing the project outcomes and implementing parts of the suggested Conservation Plan. Local and international donors can play an important role in supporting the implementation of this Conservation Plan if approached appropriately. The involvement of stakeholders, inhabitants and NGOs is usually an indication to donors that there is an interest in the upgrading of an area’s urban fabric. A comprehensive Conservation Plan is another indication that a bigger picture is clear and in progress. To this day, the current project is preparing a number of project packages that could be of interest to different donors. 73

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

However, it should be emphasised that without the establishment of a suitable legal, administrative, and governance framework for effective public-private partnerships, participatory processes, oversight, monitoring and evaluation for Historic Cairo as a whole within which al-Khalifa Plan can be slotted, all efforts will be makeshift and unsustainable. Last but not least, this study was devised as a tool to guide Athar Lina Initiative along its path to use heritage as a driver for development in order to optimise the impact of its work through effective linkages between its projects and other efforts to develop al-Khalifa, and in order to bring the people of al-Khalifa to the fore as primary actors without whom no work is possible.

11. Project Profiles The Project Profiles are derivatives of al-Khalifa Street Area Development Vision proposed as pilots for the implementation phase of the Conservation and Management Plans. These proposed projects address the following: • • • • •  

Design adaptive reuse projects for heritage sites. Promote tourist services, local businesses and crafts. Enhance open spaces especially paving and street lighting. Resolve mobility and accessibility issues. Create sports and recreation facilities/areas, particularly for women and preschoolers. Support small tourism-based businesses run by the local community. Design signage for heritage sites within the neighbourhood.

Figure 44 Map showing the location and categories of proposed projects.

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

Initial terms of reference for 10 pilot projects in the form of preliminary packages were prepared to be presented to the government, investors or donors. These pilot projects are representative sample of areas slated for transformation in the Conservation Plan. From the 10 packages, three are proposed as examples for developing and enhancing public open spaces. The open spaces pilot projects include: Open spaces that have specific land-use of benefit to the local community, such as local markets (Darb al-Husr Market - package 1). Open spaces within residential pockets (Yarim Agha Open Space - package 2 and Rashwan Open Space - package 3). The monuments proposed for conservation projects and adaptive reuse include three listed monuments that cover monuments of a deteriorated state of conservation which can enhance the main development hubs proposed for al-Khalifa Street Area. The pilot projects for monuments include: • •

Monuments to be developed as tourist attractions within the southern activity hub to enhance the southern gateway of al-Khalifa Street Area (Fatima Khatun Mausoleum package 5 and al-Ashraf Khalil Mausoleum - package 6). Monuments to enhance the northern gateway of al-Khalifa Street Area and the visitors’ routes (Safiyy al-Din Jawhar Mausoleum - package 7).

Multiple types of plots and buildings to be developed together within cross-cutting interventions. Three cases were identified to cover:  A proposal for the development of the facades of Darb al-Husr Street in collaboration with the local community. Listed monuments located on Darb al-Husr will host the services needed by the local community (Khushqadam al-Ahmadi Mosque and SabilKuttab Hasan Katkhudha - package 8).  A socio-economic assessment of the impact of the permeability interventions suggested in the Conservation and Management Plans (Al-Khalifa Permeability Study - package 9).  Development of deteriorated plots impacted by newly opened streets. Darb al-‘Akrat Street (package 10) is a study for improving housing within a plot of makeshift structures through which a street is cut.

12. Implementation of Management Plan 12.1. General Actions Aims

Protect its integrity and compactness of urban fabric and increase its permeability.

Actions

Map and document historical street alignments of Historic Cairo to be conserved or restored. Prepare a citywide strategy of needed actions to conserve historic street alignment of Historic Cairo. Define a policy that supports rehabilitation, reuses and localized infill development in vacant plots. No permits issued (building or demolition) which are not in line with the conservation plan. All issued demolition decrees should be revised to enhance the integrity of the urban fabric. Ensure the enforcement of law of new buildings or alterations in Historic Cairo to NOUH guidelines. Create financial instruments and provide legal and financial incentives through which buildings can be rehabilitated and regularly maintained by their owners (i.e., microcredits, technical assistance). Revitalise Historic Cairo open spaces by improving the physical quality of public spaces (landscaping, pavements, street furniture, lighting, shades, infrastructure and SWM) to ensure users’ safety and security as well as space appropriation (including accessibility to existing green areas). Reduce thru traffic within the WH Property and alleviate vehicular pressure on the main nodes of Historic Cairo.

Safeguard and rehabilitate monuments and historic buildings.

Develop a mobility plan to organise and manage mobility of vehicles, pedestrian and managing parking spaces and transportation routes in Historic Cairo that is integrated with the mobility plan of Greater Cairo. An upgrade project for infrastructure and services should be prepared in accordance with Egyptian codes and regulations. Focus should be on prevailing issues such as groundwater rise, waste management, paving and lighting and there should be clear implementation, monitoring and maintenance protocols. Solution for misused vacant plots should be devised in coordination between private businesses, relevant NGOs, and governmental landowners such as MoE to optimise land-use for the benefit of the community according to an overall vision. Listing criteria should be revised by the committee responsible for listing heritage buildings, and an urban comparative analysis should be prepared in order to list more buildings. Private-public partnerships should be established to support renovation and suitable use.

Annex One: Summary of the Open Spaces in Historic Cairo Training Workshop and the participants’ outcomes In the framework of the CPHC Project, and in collaboration with IMPAQT 56, a three-day workshop was held from the 1st to the 3rd of February, 2019. Students were invited from Alexandria University, Suez Canal University and Nile University (in addition to participants from an open call) to collaborate on developing innovative design solutions for public spaces in Historic Cairo. The number of participants were 50 and they worked in groups. The workshop activities included presentations and guided tours of the areas, specific group lectures, site visits, field work, internal presentations, design sessions, internal feedback session and final presentations that were presented to experts. In the weeks that followed the workshop, one intervention was implemented based on the workshop outputs and additional research. The workshop contributes the following to the CPHC research project: • Public housing: public space intervention in Zaynhum. • Historic qasabas: open spaces identified in the Conservation Plan of al-Khalifa. • Informal settlements: use of public and open spaces for advocacy in al-Hattaba.

Figure 45 One of the activities attended by participants during the workshop.

The following includes the outcomes of the workshop concerned with al-Khalifa Street Area: i. Working group one: Dilapidated building plots (Shaykhu Madrasa Open Space) This 3-year project, funded by the European Commission, aims to breed architects capable of initiating a paradigm shift in Egyptian architecture practice. A consortium of highly esteemed partners in their fields of specialization, from Europe and Egypt, come together to realize this vision. 56

Figure 47 Current situation, 2019.

Historical background: According to the cadastral map, three plots were built and are currently in total ruin (shown in navy blue). Description of the spot: The plot is sealed off with walls that are 2 meters high. There is debris of an old house. A back entrance to the Shaykhu Madrasa overlooking the plot is also noticed. Current ownership: According to the inhabitants, the plot is owned by individuals and by the Awqaf Authority (this needs further investigation). Current usage: The plot is not accessible and is used for solid waste collection. The surrounding streets are used for car parking and also to raise poultry.

Figure 48 Images of the three plots.

The survey started with a meeting of the team to study the plots and was followed by a field visit to the spot, which included: interviews with some inhabitants, a basic needs assessment, 97

calculating the volume of the rubble in the plots and photo documentation of the facade of the Shaykhu Madrasa and the buildings surrounding it as well as the remaining walls of the ruined building. • Design phase: The review of the projects and similar studies carried out in al-Khalifa Street Area was the starting point of the design phase. This was followed by an analysis of the cadastral map from 1937 as well as current maps as a way of studying the current situation. A proposal was developed for the distribution of spaces and uses in terms of social, cultural and tourism factors. The following parameters were considered in the design process: - Research land ownership. - Study the possibility of linking al-Khalifa and al-Saliba Streets. - Look into using the southern facade where Shaykhu Gate is located for cultural activities. - Study and analyse the surrounding crafts and other activities. - Study the possibility of using the facades overlooking the spot for art installations. - Study the activities of several age and gender groups of the inhabitants. - Address the permeability, ventilation and lighting of the built environment.

Figure 49 Layout showing the distributed uses of the open space.

The proposed intervention on the plot of land adjacent to the Shaykhu Madrasa included the following: - The plot will not be built but rather kept as an open space to link the area to al-Saliba Street. As an open space, the area can accommodate some functions as well as improve the environmental condition of the surrounding buildings. - Introduce a theatre for cultural and heritage spectacles such as shadow plays and puppet shows. - Opening the back gate of the madrasa for visitors.

Historical background: According to the cadastral map, this space used to be the ruins and garden of the takiyya of al-Sultan al-Ashraf and is currently an open space adjacent to Fatima Khatun Mausoleum. Description of the spot: Open space is considered an entrance to the neighbouring buildings as well as to the monument. Current ownership: Cairo Governorate. Current use: Leisure and kids’ playground.

The team began by analysing the information and data available on the open space and its relationship to the Mausoleum of Fatima Khatun. Following this analysis, a field visit to the open space was conducted in order to study the following: - The relationship between the open space, the monument, the main street and al-Khalifa Park (currently being implemented). - Activities, functions and various uses of buildings overlooking the square. - Needs assessment and problem identification of the site.

• Design phase: The analysis phase led to the identification of a set of parameters and objectives to be considered when designing an intervention: - Strengthen the link between the open space and the surrounding area. - Emphasise the visual connection and the entrances to the open space from the street and park. - Improve the quality of the open space through street furniture and hardscape. - Respect the privacy of houses overlooking the monument. - Look into restoring the entrance of the monument.

In the context of the objectives that the working group sought to achieve, the following proposed and overlapping ideas were included: -

Seating to simulate the idea of the terrace by designing seats in front of the houses overlooking the open space.

Plantations: adding shrubs and different plants that can use the groundwater currently inundating the mausoleum. In addition to simulating the idea of the garden that historically used to be part of the open space.

Graffiti: designing murals on some buildings surrounding the open space to attract visitors from the street to enter the open space and visit the monument. These murals should reflect the heritage and history of the open space and the surrounding area.

Lighting elements: design two two lighting schemes; one to illuminate the surroundings of the monument and the other to illuminate the surrounding houses.

Figure 61 Current situation, 2019.

Historical background: According to the cadastral map of 1932, this open space used to be a building. It is currently part of the plot that is used as an open area. The inhabitants pointed out that it was a plot with solid waste accumulation until the owner of a newly constructed building overlooking the plots decided to open it up, remove the solid waste and instead construct flower beds and cultivate them in order to beautify the area. Description of the open space: An open space defined by a group of red brick flower beds most of which are basins with small shrubs. Current Property: Cairo Governorate. Current usage: No specific use.

Citizen Participation in Historic Cairo (CPHC)

The group started working on the following: - Analysing the cadastral map as well as the current situation of the open space and its surroundings taking into account the activities and ownership. The open space consists of two plots. The owner of one plot is known while the other owner is not. - Analysing the strengths, weaknesses, challenges and opportunities of the open space in light of the information collected. - Recognizing previous initiatives of the inhabitants to upgrade the open space. For example, removing the solid waste from empty plots. - Taking into account the needs of the residents of the buildings surrounding the open space and its users i.e., whether they can get from one area to another or, in the case of the neighbourhood’s children, whether they spend part of their day there. - Taking into account that intervention should be in the form of light structures that are easy to dismantle and install if needed. This is because the open space is not of public property but consists of two private owned plots of land. The proposed intervention on Yarim Agha Open Space includes the following: - Shaded areas with wooden benches and seating tables. - A playing area for children with reusable car tires. - Graffiti on the facade of two walls overlooking the open space. The drawings will include one of the twelve legends associated with Bayt al-Kritliyya. - Suspended lighting units and lighting lanterns. - Drinking pots for dogs. - A green area.
