3. URBAN REGENERATION
 Urban regeneration is the attempt to reverse the decline by
both improving the physical structure, and, more importantly
the economy of those areas.
Urban renewal in
Singapore refers to
land redevelopment
programmes in areas of
moderate to high
density urban land use
in the Republic
of Singapore.

Economic
Vitality
• Creation of stable local
economy
• Growth of property
market
• Strong economic base
enabling broader
competiveness
• Having
meaningful
interaction with
the workers and
the public to
improve the
economic values.
• The use of direct or indirect force, through bodily, physical or
mechanical means.

5. PHASES OF URBAN REGENERATION
THE SCOPING PHASE
Scoping is a process, which provides decision
makers with a strategic assessment to identify
and promote regeneration. Scoping provides an
analytical foundation and engagement process.
THE PLANNING PHASE
The planning framework establishes the long-
term vision and context. The planning phase
must detail all the vital elements or assets of the
regeneration project, including land,
community, and the environmental issues.
THE FINANCING PHASE
Financial tools involve direct financing
assistance for a regeneration project such as
various value capture methods (impact fees,
special assessments, exactions).
THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE
Implementation phase entails translating the
vision for long-term change into the financial,
contractual and institutional relationship
between the public and private sectors.

6. EXAMPLES OF URBAN REGENERATION
 Urban Regeneration in Singapore
Urban renewal in Singapore refers to land redevelopment
programmes in areas of moderate to high density urban land use
in the Republic of Singapore.
 Urban Regeneration in Egypt (Cairo)
The urban conservation and preservation of Egyptian culture
mostly emphasis on the a monument, group of buildings or site
of historical, aesthetic, archaeological, scientific,
ethnological or anthropological value of cultural heritage and
natural heritage includes outstanding physical, biological,
and geographical features, different kind of plants or
animals species and areas.

HISTORIC CAIRO, EGYPT

9. CULTURAL HERITAGE OF CAIRO
HISTORY
Cairo hosts a variety of historically significant districts and
monuments, ranging from the ruins of Al-Fustat, the Fatimid
nucleus of Medieval Cairo, the citadel and surrounding Mamluk
palaces, to its urban domestic architecture, mausoleums, bazaars, its
Nilometre and other inventions related to human use and mastery
of the River Nile.

10. AIM OF THE PROJECT
• The project Urban Regeneration for Historic Cairo (URHC) has
been working with local authorities since 2010 with the aim of
preparing planning and management tools necessary for the
conservation of the aforementioned heritage values in addition
to the socio-economic revitalization and environmental
upgrading of the World Heritage Site as a whole.

11. OBJECTIVES OF THE REGENERATION PROJECT
• A conservation and rehabilitation strategy was based to
preserve and enhance the heritage values and regenerate the
physical - and socio-economic environment
• Launch public awareness-raising activities
• The study also considered social, economic and
environmental aspects important to improving the quality of
life in the property
• Save listed monuments from deterioration
• Apply a holistic concept of conservation rather than the
restoration of single buildings.
• Divide the work into phases according to status and needs.

12. PROJECT POLICIES
The project also intends to foster a subsequent urban
conservation policy whose prerequisites are:
• the definition of clear concepts on conservation to be
implemented through new urban planning tools, special
projects and building regulations
• the creation of adequate institutional capacities and technical
skills
• an increasing and wide awareness of heritage issues amongst
the relevant authorities and the larger public

15. AL-AZHAR PARK CAIRO
HISTORY
• Among several honors, this park is listed as one of the world's
sixty great public spaces by the Project for Public Spaces.

Programmes .

16. PARK PROJECT
• the development of the park
• archeology involving a 12th-century Ayyubid wall
• historic building rehabilitation
• several quality of life improvement initiatives requiring skills
training, area rehabilitation, microfinance, and support in the
areas of health and education, among others.

17. RESTORATION OF THE AYYUBID WALL
• While the excavation was still ongoing, under the mounts of
garbage a treasure was uncovered: a wall to a depth of 15
meters and a 1.5 kilometers section.
• It comprises a few repeating elements, such as round-fronted
towers and curtain walls, and is consistent in its use of
materials.
• The walls are adorned and punctuated by crenellations, arrow
slits, stairwells and chambers.
