DOWNTOWN CAIRO -- 3

 DESIGNED TO BE THE PARIS OF THE EAST


Discovering Downtown Cairo: Architecture and Stories is a highly-recommended book about the fading glory and hope for the future. 

The guide presents a detailed survey of the plans and typologies of apartment buildings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in downtown Cairo. 

It also maps the changes in use of these spaces over time and shares some of the inhabitants' stories.
