The event will present the results of new research conducted by Dr. Reem Abdel Haliem, Mr. Kareem Ibrahim, and Dr. Diane Singerman through TADAMUN: The Cairo Urban Solidarity Initiative, a Cairo-based initiative that works with citizens to claim their urban rights and devise new urban policies that are more effective, equitable, participatory, and sustainable. TADAMUN’s latest work is a spatial analysis of urban inequality that explores issues of investment patterns; in-new cities and older areas of Cario, planning paradigms, poverty, and the distribution of public funds. The presentation will use maps as a visual tool for understanding development gaps and public policy challenges in contemporary Egypt.
