BY. KAREEM MOHAMED

Vision Cities are always changing, rapidly growing, and overpopulated, that what we suffer from in the great Cairo and causes many negative effects to society, economy, environment, and any field of our life.

Trying to find a solution for this problem by expanding of the construction of the new cities, and taking people toward there, through exploiting all city’s resources in more balanced spatial developmental projects helping the region and people out their and support these cities to improve Egyptians’ quality of life there. from here comes the need for change and restructure the system of informal markets located within the capital (Souq Al Sabtieh Faggala Market - Al Gomhoria Market - Shaq Al Thoban Market... etc.) which caused many negative effects to the traffic, urban environment, and others.
