CAIRO BETWEEN TRACES AND LIBERAL RE-FOUNDATION

Résumé

Lacunary perceptions, biased and partial, often anecdotal, and subject to an impression of anarchy, disorder and gigantism, commonly confer a comfortable illegitimacy on attempts to interpret a metropolis like Cairo. Our aim here is to show that these stereotypes of Cairo will not bear analysis. The city's contemporary evolution may be divided into phases corresponding to the global time of very large metropolises. Functional, political, demographic and social transformations reshape its ecology, both its forms and the ways of acting and living in it.
