The document provides an overview of the Maspero area in Cairo and its redevelopment story. It discusses Maspero's history from a glorious and populated area to one that faced eviction. It describes the current actors involved, including the Cairo governorate, investors, and advocacy groups. It finds issues like centralized planning, conflicts of interest, and lack of community representation. However, it also identifies supporting factors like political will and an active community association. In conclusion, it questions Maspero's future and whether the same disconnected approaches will continue or whether connections between policy and practice can be achieved.
