Regeneration As An Approach For The Development Of Informal Settlements In Cairo Metropolitan

Ghada Farouk Hassan.

Overview

The traditional approaches of mainstream for the development of informal settlements appear to be inadequate towards solving or alleviating the social and economic problems, and failed to cope with the rapid change that have arisen. Urban regeneration has evolved from a simple form of renovation or rehabilitation to targeting the restructuring and the renewal of the urban economy, and seeking social interaction and equity. As the need for the government to adopt an enabling approach that supports people living in slums rose, urban regeneration was considered as the effective approach to deal with the informal areas of in the inner city. A Profound literature review will take place on the meaning of urban regeneration and its application abroad. The paper will study the causes and the results of the booming of Ashwaeyat in Egypt in order to reveal weakness and obstacles to realize goals. It emphasizes on the need of a generic deviation in the model of intervention. Finally the paper ends by discussing the capability of the application of this approach in dealing with the informal settlements in Cairo metropolitan as proper approach to cope with the need of dealing effectively with those shadows in the urban context.
