Urban Geography of the Housing Patterns in Cairo Governorate, Egypt: Using GIS and RS techniques - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Cairo, the capital of Egypt, contains different housing patterns resulting from challenges of rapid urban growth namely informal, semi-informal, deteriorated urban pockets and planned areas. Informal settlements have developed on publicly owned desert land. Semi-informal settlements have developed mostly on private agricultural land on the periphery of Cairo. The residents of each settlement pattern represent a wide socioe-conomic spectrum. urban morphology and land uses interact with socio-economic characteristics of the residents in each housing pattern. Accessibility to public services is one of the main products of such interaction.
