Report
Gohar, A., Kondolf, G. M., Mozingo, L., Marzion, R., & Balakrishnan, K. (2011). Connecting Cairo to the Nile: Renewing life and heritage on the river. Institute of Urban & Regional Development

As urban waterfronts around the world de-industrialize, cities are increasingly capitalizing on these opportunities to provide open space and alternative commuting routes along riverbanks, bringing residents and visitors back to the waterfronts. In J... Read More about Connecting Cairo to the Nile: Renewing life and heritage on the river.
