Lecture Title: Public Markets in Cairo الأسواق العامة في القاهرة-
In many cities all over the world, urban public space has become the place of work of the urban poor. We seek to examine the urban management of public markets in Cairo, their effects on city neighborhoods, how street vendors use public space for their livelihood, and to creatively seek participatory solutions to common problems these informally managed markets contribute with in the community. The workshop is carried out in the Cairo metropolis, a nodal commercial center.
Keywords: Urban Public Space; Street Vending; Urban Management; Livelihood Strategy.
